Whether you're hosting an event or sending out a newsletter, a registration table can be quite helpful for a variety of reasons. The good news is that creating a printable registration table in Microsoft Word is simple! Today, Mytour will show you how to create a registration table in Word.
Steps
Open Microsoft Word on your laptop. If you're using a Windows PC, you can open Word by typing the program's name in the search bar and double-clicking the icon. Mac users can download Microsoft Word from the Mac App Store.
Insert a table. In the menu at the top of the blank document, click on “Insert,” then select “Table.” A grid will appear, allowing you to set the size of the table using your mouse pointer. For example, if you're expecting 10 people to sign up and want to collect their names and emails, select 2 columns and 11 rows. If you need to number the list, you can add another column.
- If you need to fill in more fields, consider setting the table in landscape mode for more space.
- You can always edit the number of rows or columns, so don’t worry about having to make the perfect guess.
Enter a title for the data fields. In the first row, specify the information you want people to fill in the table, such as name, email, phone number, or age. Additionally, a signature can serve as a formal confirmation that these individuals agree to be contacted using the information they provide.
- To add numbering, highlight the cells you wish to number and click the 'Home' tab. Under 'Paragraph,' choose 'Numbering.'
Adjust the table layout. To modify page elements, click 'Layout' on the far-right of the top menu. If you want to add rows to the table, select any cell and click 'Insert Below.' You can also add columns by selecting a cell and choosing either 'Insert Left' or 'Insert Right.' Furthermore, the 'Table Row Height' and 'Table Column Width' tools allow you to adjust the size of table cells. The process is simple: select the row or column containing the cells you wish to resize, then click the up or down arrows of the relevant tool to change the size.
Customize the table design. Now that your registration table is complete and more functional, you can enhance its appearance. Click the 'Table Design' tab, located second from the right on the top menu.
- Use the 'Borders' tool to adjust the thickness and color of the table's borders.
- Want the table to look more dynamic? With the 'Shading' tool, you can add shadow effects to the top row, making the registration fields stand out, or assign a different color to each column.
