Fix a row in a Word table. How to fix the top line in a Word. Pinning a new tab

Hello dear users of multifunctional text editor WORD... From today's "Cheat Sheet" you will learn how to do, execute according to GOST, insert, fix, transfer, repeat, copy titles, headings, inscriptions, table headers in the Word to other pages. As before, we will work with its 2016 version.

Ask why am I spamming with all possible synonyms of one concept? And the fact is that there is a lot of confusion in this seemingly linguistic issue. Let's agree with you that the inscription above the table is its name in a different way. And here is the content of the first table row is a header or heading. Now, having dealt with the subject of our today's conversation, we can proceed to "making" it. Go?

How to make an inscription over a table in Word

This operation can be done in three ways. The first of them ensures full compliance with the requirements of GOSTs: 7.32-2001 (for registration of diploma theses), as well as 1.5-93 and 2.105-95 (ESKD - One system Design Documentation). The inscription turns out to be modest and discreet, but at the same time the tables are automatically numbered. The second and third methods are for those who are not constrained by the gost framework and want to brightly design the name of the table. So…

The inscription to the table in the Word in accordance with GOST

rice. 1

Select the table. To do this, left-click on the move marker (cross in the upper left corner). After that we call context menu by pressing the right mouse button (the cursor is in the table field). In the drop-down window, select the line "Insert title"(see fig. 1).

In the first cell of the dropped-out window (see Fig. 2) we write the name. Moreover, pay attention, friends, that according to GOST it begins with the word "Table" with serial number... Then, after a dash with a capital letter, enter the actual title and do not put a period after it. If the specified cell contains not the word "table", but "equation" or "figure", then you can make a replacement in "Parameters" line "signature".

rice. 2

In the third line "position" we are given the opportunity to choose: place the table heading above or below it. GOST allows both options. After filling in all the necessary fields, do not forget to click the button "OK".

You can delete an erroneously inserted or disliked name using the key DELETE.

How to insert the name of the table in the Word with its own formatting

Sometimes Word users have a problem with entering the table name. The cursor does not want to go beyond its upper boundaries. In this case, you need to do the following:

we put the cursor in the upper left cell;
in the toolbar "Working with tables" go to the tab "Layout";
In chapter "Union" click on the button "Split table"(fig. 3).

rice. 3

Now our cursor obediently took a place above the table and is ready to enter its name. Any styles, sizes and colors of fonts are available to us. You can put the name of the table in a frame. Read how to do it here. But this way of giving the table a name has one drawback. Sometimes, if further formatting is necessary (adding / deleting rows, columns), the inscription "slides" to the side. It looks very ugly. To avoid such incidents, it is better to use the third method.

How to make an inscription to the Word table so that it does not move

The first step is to add a row at the top of the table. Let me remind you how to do this: the panel "Working with tables"- tab "Layout"- chapter "Rows and Columns"- button "Insert from above"... Moreover, the new line will be empty, without text (Fig. 4).

rice. 4

Next, in the newly added line, you need to combine the cells. To do this, select the line, in the same tab "Layout" go to the section "Union" and click on the button "Merge cells"(fig. 5). After that, in the resulting large cell, enter the name of the table, place it in the center and format the text.

rice. 5

Now, in order for the inscription to look beautiful, you need to remove the cell borders. Select it again and follow the path: panel "Working with tables"- tab "Constructor"- chapter "Framing"- button "Boundaries"... In the drop-down menu, go down to the very bottom and click on the line "Borders and fill".

After that, a new window will open in which you need to select the tab "The border" and deselect the buttons corresponding to the top and two side frames, then - "Apply to cell" and "OK".

Now the inscription is almost "firmly glued" to the Word table. Everything looks very nice. But this method also has its own pitfalls. It only applies to small tables that fit on one sheet. Otherwise, you, friends, will not be able to duplicate the table heading in its continuation on subsequent pages without repeating the title. And this is not supposed to be done.

Since everyone knows that it is better to see once. than read many times, then I have prepared for you, friends, a small video:

So ... We are done with the inscriptions-names of Word tables. Let's deal now with heading headers.

How to fix the table header in Word

This question arises for large tables that span multiple pages. Then, of course, for the convenience of working with their data, it is better to duplicate the title line at the beginning of each page. This is what we mean when we use the term “fix”.

So, it is very easy to fix the table header in the Word. To do this, you need to select it, then in the tab "Layout" and section "Data" activate button Repeat header lines(fig. 6). Now on each new page your nameplate will start with a cap, as expected.

rice. 6

The same can be done using the window "Table Properties"... To open it, select the entire table, click on its field with the right mouse button, in the drop-down menu we find the line we need. In the window, go to the tab "Line" and tick "Repeat as heading on every page"(fig. 7).

rice. 7

In this case, you just need to open the window again. "Table Properties" and now go to the tab "table"... Pay attention to the group "Wraparound"... Choose a button "NO", it must be activated (see fig. 8). Only then will you be able to duplicate the table header on subsequent pages.

Now you will succeed.

How to freeze only the second row of a table without a title

It happens that a large and complex table has many columns and spans several pages. Then, to facilitate the perception of its contents, the column numbers are put under the heading in the second line, and the continuation of the table on each new page begins with this numbering.

But how is it done? After all, when transferring a table head, its first row cannot be ignored. Will not work. And we will not take the steps that we took to repeat the title on each page. Let's do it easier:

select the line with numbers;
copy it ( Ctrl + C);
insert into every first row in the continuation of the table on new pages ( Ctrl +V);

Everything is clear with this question. Is not it?

How to insert the inscription "continuation of the table" in the Word

Yes, in large tables that take several pages, according to GOST, it is required to insert such an inscription. However, even if you do not have a gost document, the inscription "continuation of the table" at the beginning of each new table sheet will still be quite appropriate. But WORD program does not allow text to be entered between table lines. How to be? There is an exit. You need to follow these steps:

we put the cursor in the last cell of the last line of the table on the first page;
make a page break in this place (tab "Insert"- chapter "Pages"- button "page break");
the last line of the first page will be shifted to the second, and under the table on the first page, you can put the cursor and enter the text: "continuation of the table" (see Fig. 9).

rice. nine

But we do not need this inscription on the first, but on the second and subsequent pages. Calmly. As soon as you start entering text, it will "jump" to the second sheet. Everything will be as it should be.

If the table occupies not 2, but 3 or more sheets, then, unfortunately, this operation will have to be repeated on each sheet again. It will not work to automate this process.

For the second part of our article (about headers and headings), a video clip has also been prepared for you, dear readers:

In my opinion, friends, we have sorted out all the moments that may arise when working with captions and table headers in Word 2016. I hope you understand everything. If I missed something, ask questions in the comments. The next "Cheat Sheet" will be about splitting and joining tables in the Word. And for today I say goodbye to you. I wish you success!

And here are some more articles on working with tables.

This bias against tables is deeply rooted. To be honest, a dozen years ago the tables could not boast of convenience due to the imperfection of the program as a whole. But a lot of time has passed since then. Microsoft has done a great job on its mistakes and has done everything possible for the convenience of users. It is a pity, of course, that many of those same users do not know about this and still work in the 2003 edition of the office suite. Doesn't it remind you of the story of hedgehogs and cacti? :)

I just humanly recommend to everyone stuck in the past to upgrade to at least the 2013th version. Microsoft Office, or better - right before the fresh, 2016th. Believe me, it only seems to you that you are working in an environment that has become a classic; in fact, it has long been overgrown with moss and mold.

Use templates

Office everyday life is full, including tables. We take one electronic piece of paper, cut out a part of it, insert it into a new document and edit the details. Nice technique, but it seems to me that working with templates is a little easier and faster. By the way, in Word itself, templates are called express tables.

Click on the "Insert" tab, click on "Table" and go to "Express Tables". Pay attention to the item "Save selection to collection".

Here you will find several quite useful options and, most importantly, you can save any other table or its fragment, including your own production, as a template.

Draw tables

Remember the bear that walked over your ears and hands in an unrestrained gypsy dance as a child? Since then, you have disliked singing and brushes, and since then you have stubbornly ignored the "Draw Table" option in Word. Shake it up, grown man! It's time to crush the furry monster! This is easier than it sounds.

Click on the "Insert" tab, click on "Table" and go to the item "Draw Table".

And don't be afraid to make a mistake: there is always an eraser at hand. Sometimes a pencil and a washer greatly simplify the creation of complex tables with small elements.

Insert rows and columns quickly

Beginning with Word 2013, adding rows and columns has gone from furious torture to fun. Do not think, the archaic "Insert columns left / right" and "Insert rows above / below" have not gone anywhere, but now you can forget about them.

Hover over the space between rows or columns outside the table and click the plus that appears.

In the future, I would like to see something similar for the delete function.

Apply a ruler

Each person has favorite and repulsive numbers that he indiscriminately uses or avoids in his life. Even in the parameters of their tables. I know those. :)

If you are used to accurately setting the padding values, width and height of cells through the table properties, try an alternative - the ruler.

Move the cursor over the border of columns or rows, grab it, hold down the Alt key and use the convenience of a centimeter ruler.

You can do the same trick with indentation and indentation markers. Move the cursor over them and hold down the same Alt key.

Use hotkeys

Be me a developer software, I would call the hotkeys soul buttons. After all, sometimes you just want to hug a laptop just because they are. As far as Word tables are concerned, I most often use three combinations:

Alt + Shift + Up / Down quickly moves the current line one position higher or lower (just an irreplaceable thing).
Ctrl + Shift + A instantly converts capital letters to capital letters, which is very useful for headings.
Ctrl + Tab adds a tab stop in a cell, while a normal one Tab moves the cursor to the next cell.

Convert text to table

A bit of magic to brag about in front of an astonished audience. Instead of creating tables in the usual way, try a couple of other, more sophisticated options:

Cell arrays copied from Excel are pasted into Word as a table with invisible borders.
Well-structured text can be easily converted into a table using standard Word tools.

Select the text, click on the "Insert" tab, click on "Table" and select "Convert to Table".

Pay attention to the auxiliary parameters: the conversion quality depends on them directly.

Control cell sizes

If you want to know a person, throw him a table with a tyrant text. A slightly free interpretation of the well-known opinion, of course, but it hits the mark. Just look at the screenshot, or rather at the first column and the word "philological" is an ugly thorn.

According to my observations, in such cases people first express themselves indecently, and then resort to not the most optimal way out - reduce the font size. But it's better to fit the text in a different way.

Right-click in the cell, select the "Table Properties" item, switch to the "Cell" tab, go to the "Parameters" and put a tick in the "Fit Text" column.

Word will pull its strength and return the escaped letter to its place, and peace will reign in the world again. By the way, for clarity, the "inscribed" text will be underlined with a blue line.

And also, it happens, you borrow someone's table and quite hum to yourself: "Only you, the fish of my dreams"! Good job by someone else's hands! You start to fill it with your data, and then an uncontrollable devilry happens: some columns sprawl due to the weight loss of others. The head becomes sober, and the reality ceases to please. How to be?

Jokes as a joke, but it happens that you are sent a table of a strict format, with which you can not blunder. At the very least, do not be lazy to send it back with the same dimensions. This allows the recipient to see what he expects to see. To do this, turn off autosize by content.

Click in any of the cells with the right mouse button, select "Table Properties", go to "Parameters" and uncheck the "Autosize to Content" box.

The same option will save your spreadsheet from collapse if you need to fill some cells with images: they will fit in the form of a thumbnail instead of full-scale.

Microsoft developers starting with Office suite 2007, radically changed the familiar interface of applications.
Instead of the familiar menu list, Word now has a whole ribbon.

Important!

At one time, many copies were broken in disputes about how convenient this innovation is. But the firm position of the designers of the most popular office suite, including a similar interface in all newly developed programs, made all the talk meaningless.

I just had to calm down and learn to work with a new instrument.

The ribbon has many customizable options. And one of them is the ability to collapse into a small line of the menu in the absence of selection with the mouse.

The function is convenient in principle, but for some it is a source of unnecessary annoyance when working. The tape constantly disappears from view, the user has to make unnecessary movements with the mouse to open it and select the necessary tool.

Knowing the features of Microsoft applications, it is clear that to change the parameter, you must check or uncheck the box. Let's look for where she could be.

Let's try to press right button on a minimized toolbar.

We now have a context menu like this.

Now if you try to uncheck the "Minimize Ribbon" checkbox, it will appear on the screen and remain there, even after clicking on the free space of the document.

The context menu will look like this.

As a result, the tape does not disappear anywhere, and you can concentrate on preparing the necessary document.

Hello dear reader! Today I will show you how to create a complex table in Word 2010 and above. I call complex tables that contain merged areas. They can contain vertical text, spread over multiple sheets. Setting up a complex table has its own subtleties, and knowing them, you can quickly create any table.

Creating a table

Let's analyze all the points using the example of such a table.

It is easy to calculate that it has 10 columns and 17 rows. Insert the table. Now in our table it is necessary to combine the cells of the first column, partially in the second and in the first row. To do this, select a group of cells one by one and give the command Merge cells either from the context menu or from the ribbon Working with tables - Layout group Union.

Advice... To select multiple adjacent cells, click left button mice in the center of the first cell and, without releasing it, move the pointer until the required number of cells is selected. Then release the button.

In the original table, you can see that the cells in the first column are numbered. Let's put it down. Let's select these cells and on the tab home in the toolbar, select Numbering... In the same way, the table can be numbered for a horizontal group of cells.

Next, the data is entered into the table, and at the end, the final formatting is performed. To make the data look nice, you need to align the text in the table. Select the entire table (click on the four-directional arrow that appears at the upper left corner of the table when you hover the mouse cursor there).

Now in the tab Working with tables - Layout select the button Align Center in a group Alignment(see picture above).

Advice... If your table has many columns and the header data is split into several lines letter by letter, then select the cells with this data and specify another Text direction(see picture above). You can reduce the font size if necessary.

How to add text in front of the table

It often happens that a table is built, but its name is completely forgotten. It is not possible to insert text in front of the table. What if not to delete the same table? In such cases, before creating a complex table, you should always make at least one blank line before the insertion point of the table. Well, if it happened so, we will fix it.

Select the table as described above and press the button with scissors Cut in the tab home... The table will disappear, but don't worry, it is now stored in your computer's memory. Now you need to press the button ENTER on your keyboard to make a blank line for the table name. Go to the tab again home and now press the button Insert... Our table will return to its place and there will be an empty line for the name in front of it. Click above the table and the cursor will be in the right place. All that remains is to enter the forgotten title.

How to fix a table header in a Word

At large volume data table is transferred to the next page. And this creates an inconvenience when working with it, because the column headings are not visible. You have to go back to the beginning to see them. The Word has a means to fix the head of the table when transferring part of it to the next sheet, and everyone should know about this.

How to repeat the first row of a table when it is broken into several pages?

Select a row or a group of rows that will be repeated when the table is broken.

In the toolbar, select Table Tools - Layout - Repeat Header Rows or call the context menu Table Properties - Row check the box Repeat as heading on every page

I hope this information has been useful to you, now you know how to create a complex spreadsheet. But if you still have doubts, then watch this silent video on working with complex tables. Everything is clear without words!

Yellow circle in the video indicates the position of the mouse cursor, the red circle indicates the left mouse button is pressed, and the blue indicates the right one.

Text editor Microsoft Word very functional. In addition to typing and formatting text, here you can create various shapes, graphs and tables, perform a few simple actions with pictures. Where are all the tools needed for this? That's right, on the Toolbar.

It is located at the top of the page of an open document, and with Word 2007 on it you see not only tabs, but also the main buttons that are used to work. In this article, we will figure out what to do if the toolbar in the Word has disappeared, and instead of the usual view, only the main names are visible at the top. I'll also tell you about the panel quick access, and how to add all the necessary buttons to it.

If the Word document that you opened looks like the screenshot below, then to restore the toolbar, just click on the small arrow pointing down in the upper right corner of the window.

After that, all the usual groups and commands will be visible again. And if you need to leave only a sheet on the page, then you can hide the upper ribbon by clicking on the same arrow, only now it points up. This can be used if you want nothing to distract while working with the document.

If you have Word 2013 or 2016 installed, then to display the toolbar you need to click on the button Ribbon Display Options, which is located to the right of the file name, near the buttons minimize, full screen and close.

After clicking, a small menu will open. The first item automatically hides the ribbon - the window expands to full screen and it hides, when you move the cursor to the very top, it appears. When you click on the second item, only the menu items "Home", "Insert", "Design" and others will remain. If you choose the last option, then it will turn out to fix not only the names of the items, but also the commands - in fact, this is what we need.

Now let's figure out what to do if not the control panel itself has disappeared, but some of the tabs on it. Go to the top on "File" and select "Options" from the left list.

This window will open. Go to the tab "Customize the Ribbon".

I, for example, did not have a tab on the toolbar. Therefore, I put a tick in front of it. To save the changes made, click "OK".

After that, the item we need will appear, and you can use all the commands that it contains.

In addition to the toolbar, the Word also has a quick access panel. You can add icons of those commands that you use most often to it. It is displayed either under or above the tape. By default, it has three buttons: save, cancel or redo.

To customize it for yourself, click on the little black arrow pointing down and select from the list "Other commands".

Search in the list the command you want, select it by clicking the mouse, and then click "Add".

Everything that will be in the area on the right will appear on the Quick Access Toolbar.

If necessary, all items can be arranged in a suitable order for you. To do this, select one and change its position using the up / down arrows on the right. To changes made saved in Word for all other files, in the upper field select "For all documents"... When done, save by clicking on "OK".
