Tables are among the most often used features of Microsoft Word. MS-Word offers a great deal of options to design and manage the tables in a document. In order to create a new table, you need to go to the Insert tab and use Table button. Then you can drag your mouse over a grid presented in the resulting menu to select the number of rows and columns you need for your table.
Click the “Layout” tab. In the Table section, click “Properties”. On the Table Properties dialog box, click the “Cell” tab, if it’s not already active. Click “Options” at the bottom of the Cell tab. Click on the icon with the crosshair cursor to select the whole table. Click the “Layout” table under “Table Tools”. In the “Table” section of the “Layout” tab, click “View Gridlines”. The gridlines now display on the table. To turn off the gridlines for the table, simply select the table and click “View Gridlines” again.
Using this button, initially, you can insert a table of maximum 10 columns and 8 rows. But if your requirement is for a higher number of rows or columns –you would need to insert them one by one.
There are two ways to quickly insert rows or columns in an MS-Word table.
After inserting a table, go to the Layout tab (Remember that this tab will become visible only when you put mouse cursor inside an existing table.)
In the Layout ribbon, you’ll see buttons for inserting rows above, rows below, columns to the left and columns to the right. Clicking on these buttons will create a new row or column in the table.

You can take a right click on the existing table and insert one row or column by selecting appropriate option from the pop-up menu. Once you have done this –you can repeat this action quickly by simply pressing CTRL+Y.
CTRL + Y (redo) takes opposite action of more often used CTRL+Z (undo). It repeats the last action taken by the user.
I prefer redo method because it’s much quicker. It can be done entirely with the help of keyboard. No need to remove fingers from keyboard, get hold of your mouse, drag it to the layout tab and clicking the button repeatedly.
