A new window pops up. Change the number 2 in Columns to number 6 (that's going to be the time and the days for your timetable) by selecting the number and pressing 6 on your keyboard.

Do the same in Rows but instead of changing the number to 6, change it to 10.

Click OK.

Step 4.

Making the basic layout.

Now a timetable has appeared in your text document. In the first column (the one to the left) you will write the time for your lessons but leave the first row blank.

In the first row you will type the days from Monday to Friday.

Changing the size of the letters and making them bold.

Select everything from Monday to Friday by dragging the mouse from the beginning of Monday to the end of Friday and then click on B in the icon bar. The words become bold.

Also change the size of the letters to 14 by selecting Monday to Friday and clicking on Font Size in the icon bar and then clicking on 14. The letters become bigger.

Step 5.

Writing the lessons.

Beneath the section where you have typed Monday you will type your first lesson, which is English. Type English. Now type your second lesson on Monday and so on. Next to 10.45-11.05 type a B. On Tuesday in the same row type R. On Wednesday in the same row type E. On Tuesday type A and on Friday type K. Now you can see that you have BREAK from 10.45am to 11.05am.

Do the same after 12.55-13.10 and then continue typing your lessons on the timetable.
