How you can create new table style or delete table or clear it content

Create a new table style

In addition to the built-in table styles that come with Microsoft Word, you can create your own table style to provide a consistent look to borders, shading, alignment, and fonts in tables.

1. If the Styles and Formatting task pane is not open, click Styles and Formatting on the Formatting toolbar.
2. In the Styles and Formatting task pane, click New Style.
3. In the Name box, type a name for the style.
4. In the Style type box, click Table.
5. Select the options that you want, or click Format to see more options.

Notes

• To use the new style in new documents based on the same template, select the Add to template check box. Word adds the new style to the template that is attached to the active document.
• You can reuse a new table style by selecting it in the Styles and Formatting task pane, or from the Table AutoFormat dialog box (click Table AutoFormat on the Table menu, and then under Category, select User-defined table styles).

Split a table

1. To split a table in two, click the row that you want to be the first row of the second table.
2. On the Table menu, click Split Table.

Locate specific records in a large table

1. Place the insertion point in the cell of a table.
2. On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then click Database.
3. Click Find Record.
4. In the Find what box, type the text you want to locate.
5. In the In field box, click the name of the field you want to search.
