writing information but not having it look like a table?

[marrie]

Hello. at the end of theis table I want to write info on how to complete a
task. I don't want it to look like it is in the table. How do I go about
accomplishing this?

Not sure I fully understand but here a shot...if you are looking to add text
after your table (simular to a word doc) you can consider filling the
backgroud white. Select the area under the table and chose the fill color
button (one with the paint can).

Is there a way to do that with a keyboard. thanks.

Select the cells you want to change (use can use the mouse or click in a
cell, hold down the shift key and move the arrow keys to select the area).
Once selected press the alt and o key and select cell... choose white in the
cell shading area. that should do it.

Ok. I tried to find that but I looked through all the tabs andit wasn't
there. I'm using microsoft office 2003.
