Reflection – Phase 1

Phase 1 was eye-opening, very helpful, and interesting, especially for a beginner like me. I am still working on the LabSim projects and have not taken the MO-110 Word certification exam yet. I plan to continue using the same approach for the future phases as well.

For Discussion 4, Part 2, I chose 4.8.3 – Advanced Table Formatting. In this section, I learned how to convert text into a table and convert a table back into text. I also learned how to adjust spacing, such as spacing between cells.

Before this lesson, when I thought about tables, the first thing that came to my mind was Excel. However, now I realize that we can also create and format tables in Microsoft Word, which is very useful for organizing information within documents.

  1. Hi Tegene, I agree with you that Phase 1 can be very eye opening, especially if you are new to these programs. Before this class I also thought Microsoft Word was mostly just typing documents, but there are actually many tools hidden in it that make organizing information easier. The table features are a good example of that.

    Personally, I actually find making tables in Word much easier compared to Excel, but that might just be because I used Word a lot during college. Well technically my college back in the Philippines, not here in the U.S. Most of our papers and reports were done in Word, so I got used to it. Excel was something I barely touched. My mom used Excel a lot because she worked as a banker and accountant, but for me it wasn’t really part of my daily work before. So when people mention tables, my brain still thinks of Word first before Excel.

  2. Yes, many features such as a table is available across Microsoft Office applications such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint :-)

    As Phase 1 was eye-opening, Phase 2 will be challenging!

    I know you will persevere and perform your best, Tegene ^_^
