Edele, I don't know exactly what you want to do with your table (enter text?
calculate numbers?) but I would bet that you can do everything you need in
Word. No need to introduce Excel. In Word, put your cursor where you want
the table to go, then pull down the Table menu and select Insert, then
select Table. In the Insert Table dialog box, specify 3 columns by 5 rows
and click OK. There's your table!
Press TAB or use the arrow keys to navigate your table. To add a row to the
bottom of the table, click in the last table cell and press TAB. Check out
the commands on the Table menu for other table-related functions.
To enter text, just click in a table cell and type. That should be enough to
get you started. Good luck!
