Tip for working with tables in Word

Written by Jane Hames

I often get asked this question: “I’ve inserted a table at the top of my Word document but now I can’t seem to get above the table: how can I click above the table to type my heading?”

Here’s the answer:

1. Click into the first cell in the table (in front of any text in that cell).



2. Press Enter or Return on the keyboard.
3. You can now type above your table!
