table
Particularly in spreadsheets but also in applications such as databases and word-processors.
Tabulated.
Yes. Tables in general are made up of rows and columns. If it is a database table it can be said to be made up of records which are rows and fields which are columns.
If you have a table in Word, then it is made up of columns and rows, which create cells, similar to cells on a spreadsheet.If you have a table in Word, then it is made up of columns and rows, which create cells, similar to cells on a spreadsheet.If you have a table in Word, then it is made up of columns and rows, which create cells, similar to cells on a spreadsheet.If you have a table in Word, then it is made up of columns and rows, which create cells, similar to cells on a spreadsheet.If you have a table in Word, then it is made up of columns and rows, which create cells, similar to cells on a spreadsheet.If you have a table in Word, then it is made up of columns and rows, which create cells, similar to cells on a spreadsheet.If you have a table in Word, then it is made up of columns and rows, which create cells, similar to cells on a spreadsheet.If you have a table in Word, then it is made up of columns and rows, which create cells, similar to cells on a spreadsheet.If you have a table in Word, then it is made up of columns and rows, which create cells, similar to cells on a spreadsheet.If you have a table in Word, then it is made up of columns and rows, which create cells, similar to cells on a spreadsheet.If you have a table in Word, then it is made up of columns and rows, which create cells, similar to cells on a spreadsheet.
table
When you are defining the amounts of rows and columns for a table, Word allows to have one row and one column, in other words a single cell. So that is the absolute minimum. You may not regard that as being a table, so you can have two rows and one column or one row and two columns. You can have anything above that. Word usually suggests five columns and two rows as a default, but that can be changed.
no
Depending on context, the word rows is either the third-person present singular of the verb row (as in "He rows the boat") or the plural form of the unrelated noun row(as in "The spreadsheet has rows and columns").
Columns are always vertical and rows are always horizontal. Together they form a table. These appear in different applications, such Word, Access and Excel. In Excel they are known as a worksheet.
Usually when working with a word document, text will go right across the page, so you have just one column. Using columns you can have separate columns for text, like you would see in a newspaper or a magazine. If you are doing something like a leaflet or newsletter, you may want to lay out your text that way instead of the normal way.
It's a multiplication word. E.g. The columns/height=5 and the rows/width=6 equals 30 (5x6=30). Or columns/height=3 and rows/width=2, so 3x2=6. It's not division. I'll explain why if you ask.
