Change the number of rows or columns. Drag the row count handle

Keep a log of daily student observations. Make a table with a row for each student in your class and dates for each column, then enter notes into corresponding cells.

You can add multiple tables to a document, with different kinds of information organized in each table. For example, in a project planning spreadsheet, you might place a schedule in one table and a checklist of tasks in another.
