One of the most troublesome areas in typing is that of
learning to plan the horizontal placement of tables.  Table
entry with a word processor, however, is considered to be a
rather simple process.  First, determine the longest or key
line in each column.  The second step is to decide how many
spaces will be placed between columns, six spaces being the
most commonly used number.  Now from the left margin key in
the longest line in each column, separating each entry with
the proper number of between column spaces.  After this has
been completed, center the line with the centering command.
     At this point you are ready to set the left margin and
the tab stops.  The left margin is set by moving the cursor
to the beginning of the first column and executing the left
margin command.  Do not set any tabs until the existing tab
stops are cleared.  Once the tabs have been cleared you may
then move your cursor to the beginning of the second column
and there execute a tab set command.  A similar process for
all subsequent columns is implemented to complete the table
organization.  Once the correct margin and tab stops are in
place, the entered guide copy is to be immediately deleted.
