Summary
The Table Manager function allows you to create customized tables to be reused repeatedly.
When to use
Create customized tables when you have a table that appears across multiple documents to keep
- from having to retype the same information repeatedly, and
- the tables as consistent as possible, even when there are multiple authors.
Example: If all the documents you create must have a Roles and Responsibilities table, then you can create a customized table for roles and responsibilities with predefined table headers and appropriate column widths. Whenever you need the Roles and Responsibilities table, you simply insert it into the document where it belongs and complete the rest of the sentence.
