Write Secondary School Examination. Click on adjacent cell->type 93%.	We type here Secondary School Examination. Now click on the adjacent cell and write 93 percent. So this shows that Ramesh scored 93 percent in the secondary school examination.
	Likewise,we can type further educational details in the table.
Click on cell below Secondary School Examination->type Higher Secondary School Examination. Click on adjacent cell->type 88%.	Click on the cell just below the cell where we typed Secondary School Examination. We write here Higher Secondary School Examination and in the adjacent cell, we write the score as 88 percent.
Click on first cell in third row->type Graduation->click on adjacent cell->Type 75%	Click on the first cell in the third row to access the next cell. Alternately, you may press the TAB key to move from cell-to-cell. So, lets press TAB and type Graduation. Type the score as 75% in the adjacent cell.
In the last row,click on 1st cell->type Post Graduation->write 70%	Finally in the last row we type the heading as Post Graduationin the first cell and in the adjacent cell,the score as 70 percent.

On the left hand side of the table we type Phd as the degree attained and on the right hand side we type 65% as the marks obtained.

Using Tab and Shift+Tab, one can also navigate from cell-to-cell within the table.
	Another important feature in Tables is the Optimal Column Width option which automatically adjusts the column widths according to the contents of the cells.
