recently i discovered this shortcut for creating tables in MS-Word while playing
around wid it.

Only limitation i feel is i cant add more column to it. But it's still handy
shortcut for creating table much faster.

Just press '| |' w/o quotes ie pipe space pipe
and press enter and voila a table is created for u..

for creating new rows, just use tab button.

and, now u can add as many columns u want..

just use iterative string '| | | | |....' ie pipe space pipe space pipe.... n so on
to generate the table of desired no. of columns.

simplest formula being

no. of pipe symbols used = 1 + no. of Columns required
no. of space used = no. of Columns required


howz dat ????
