How can you make sure that the features that you added have rightly been added before taking a print out ?
Answer
To improve the presentation of the table, we can follow these steps:
- Format Data — Ensure consistent formatting of data.
- Use Descriptive Units — Specify units for the "Years" column, e.g., "Years," "Weeks," to provide context.
- Standardize Data Entries — Years column has years of experience, month and year of joining and joining duration in weeks. This should be standardized across all rows.
- Add Borders and Formatting — Apply borders and subtle formatting to separate table elements visually.
- Alignment — Align the numbers in the "Years" column to the right and align the data in "Surnames" and "Responsibility" columns to the left for a cleaner look.
- Use a Table Style — Apply a pre-designed table style to enhance visual appeal.
Before printing, we can use the Print Preview feature to review the final appearance of the document.
