Tabs and Tables

 

Activity 1 – Create the following document PROPERLY using the tabs dialog box.

 

Favorite Eating Places               Location                  My Favorite Dish                            Cost

Ralph & Cacoos.................... Baton Rouge, LA................ Crab Au Gratin........................... 9.95

Papa Lou’s............................... Raleigh, NC........................ Onion Rings........................... 1.79

Outback..................................... Cary, NC............................. Prime Rib.......................... 14.95

O’Charlies................................... Cary, NC....................... Bayou Shrimp.......................... 12.95

Luther’s.................................... Houston, TX....................... BBQ Brisket........................... 8.99

 

Notes: Column 1 “Favorite Eating Places” does not use a tab and is flush left

Column 2 is located at 2.4 and is a center tab and has a dotted line leader

Column 3 is located at 4.5 and is a flush right tab and has a dotted line leader

Column 4 is located at 5.7 and is a decimal tab and has a dotted line leader

The only tricky part of this activity is the word Cost. It is flush right and needs to be set independently of the information below it.

 

Activity 2 – Create the following document properly operating primarily from the ruler bar:

 

Introduction......................................................................................................................... i

Chapter 1 Introduction........................................................................................................ 1

Chapter 2 Review of Literature......................................................................................... 13
