As more text is typed the cells will expand vertically downward not horizontally as is the case with tabs.

Text will wrap within the cell without effecting the cells on either side. Every cell in a table is a unique container that holds information.Borders can not be placed around individual dates because borders are Paragraph property and are applied to the whole paragraph.Formatting a date to stand out with a background colour can only be applied to the single line space as shown.Typing more than one or two very short words will always yield this result. The calendar dates no longer line up (the tab stops are shown as light grey arrows between the numbers). But in this case as the text spans across the space it encroached on the next tab stop and this tab is forced to push its text to the next tab stop and this continues resulting in the last number being forced onto the next line as shown (28). Text is typed horizontally on a single line as is normally done on a page.This is how both methods handle the text: However the most obvious difference between the two calendars is when calendar information is actually typed directly into the calendars.

On the surface, both calendars look good and if the intention was just to print them out and write important calendar information on the printed copies then both calendars would work fine. To illustrate some important differences on how Tabs and Tables differ when organizing information into rows and columns, a generic one month calendar, shown below, demonstrates both methods: Tabs can also be used to create a calendar, which on the surface, has the 'appearance' of being made up of rows and columns. An example of a regimented structure with a column header would be a calendar. Tables are often used to create regimented row and column structures often with a Column and/or row header. In situations where lots of information is being organized Tables out perform Tabs in many ways. Cells can be filled with a background colour and can have borders applied to them.

Content can be aligned both vertically and horizontally in cells. Tables are a better choice as they are actually made up of rows and columns of cells that alignment content naturally. When organizing information into rows and columns, two tools can be used: Tabs or Tables.
