Creating and Modifying Tables, Lists, and Graphic Elements
In this article, we'll explore how to create and modify tables, lists, and graphic elements in various software applications like Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Canva, and Adobe Illustrator.
Creating and Modifying Tables
Microsoft Word
To create a table in Word, follow these steps:
- Click where you want to insert the table.
- Go to the "Insert" tab and click on "Table".
- Choose the number of rows and columns that you want.
You can also customize your table by adding borders, shading, cell styles, and more. To do this, select the table, go to the "Design" tab, and make your changes. For example, if you want to change the color of the border, click the arrow next to "Borders", choose "Color", and then select your desired color.
Google Docs
Creating a table in Google Docs is similar to creating one in Word:
- Click where you want to insert the table.
- Click on "Insert" > "New Table".
- Choose the number of rows and columns that you want.
To format your table in Google Docs, select it, then click on "Format" > "Tables" on the top toolbar. From here, you can change the widths of individual cells, the padding between cells, and other formatting options.
Canva
Canva offers different types of tables suitable for different purposes. Here's how to create a table:
- Open Canva and log into your account.
- In the search bar, type "table" and press Enter.
- Select from the available templates, adjust them, and publish when finished.
To edit your table in Canva, open the table designer. Inside the editor, you're free to add and remove information, import images, apply colors, or just rearrange elements according to your preferences.
Creating and Modifying Lists
Lists can be created in all the mentioned softwares - Word, Docs, Canva, and Illustrator. Typically, you'd start by typing out the items in the list and then indenting them with the tab key or hitting the tab key on your keyboard.

To create a numbered list in Word, select the text you want to format, go to the "Home" tab, and click on the list icon. Choose the desired numbering style, and the text will be converted into a list.

When working with text boxes in Canva, you don't have to manually indent each line. Instead, you can configure the text box settings to automatically indent. Go to the "Text" section, click on "Styles", pick the preferred layout, and hit "Apply".
Creating and Modifying Graphic Elements
Apart from designing tables and lists, graphic elements like shapes, charts, and graphs can be added to documents using these software suites:
Microsoft Word
Word allows users to draw shapes, insert clip art, add SmartArt graphics, and more. To insert a shape, click the "Insert Shapes" button under the "Illustrations" section in the "Home" tab. Then, choose the desired shape and drag it onto your document.
Google Docs
Google Docs provides some basic drawing capabilities, allowing users to insert shapes and lines. On the "Tools" menu, hover over "Drawing", click "New", and then start drawing on the canvas.
Creating and Modifying Graphic Elements in Canva
As a design platform, Canva excels in tasks related to creating and modifying visual assets. In Canva, you can find a wide range of pre-made templates for infographics, charts, flowcharts, and many more. Simply search for what you need, customize to suit your project, and publish once done.
