MS Word - Insert table with Keyboard Shortcut  

There are almost all things can be done without mouse means with just keyboard. Shortcut keys play very important role while working on any projects as they are very time efficient and we take less time with keyboard shortcut keys as compare to Mouse click. But you should remember to use keyboard shortcut.

Today I'll show you how to insert table with keyboard only in MS Word. This trick also work with MS Outlook. Insert table includes Create table, Add row and add column etc.

Let's Start -


To create table we have to use only two keys. first one is "+" and second one is "-".
start with + and then press - till the width of column you want.
Then again press + . Repeat this process till how much column you want.

Finally press enter key
Now you can see few rows / columns have been added to your documents.
You can start typing with table heading. To go to next cell hit tab button. To enter one more row below press tab button when cursor in last cell.
Here I have added few rows of Data. What if you want to add one more column at last position say JOB. 
Then move cursor to any cell of last column by using arrow keys and Hold ALT key and press J + L + R key simultaneously. It will add one extra column at right side.

- To add extra column at left side of the cursor Hold ALT key and press J + L + L keys.

- To add extra row at above side of the cursor Hold ALT key and press J + L + A keys.
