Hello Peggy-ann,
I hope you enjoyed your PowerPoint training session with us.

Regarding your question, I want to be sure I understand what you are asking. It sounds like you would like for your table in Word to act like an Excel spreadsheet, where the text is entered, but not visible unless you click on the cell. Is this correct? If so, unfortunately this is not possible in Word. For this capability, you are better off using Excel. You can always mimic the appearance of a Word document in Excel by removing gridlines (Tools > Options > [view tab] untick Gridlines).

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved. If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. And please feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

Have a great day.

Regards,
Mara

Word tip:

Create bullets or numbering without pressing a button!

If you want to create a bulleted or numbered list in Word, you can do so without using the bulleting or numbering buttons on the toolbar.

Here's how:

To start a bulleted list:
Type in an asterisk (*) or a hyphen (-) followed by a space then your text and press Enter.

The asterisk or hyphen should convert to a bullet point, and a second bullet point should appear next to your cursor position.

Creating a numbered list:
Type in 1. or 1) followed by a space then your text. When you press the Enter key, Word will convert this to an automatically numbered list. The number 2 will automatically appear next to where your cursor is positioned on the page.
