The example below clearly details the proper formatting of a document with a table.

They can be included in a memo, personal or businessProper formatting of a document with tables and many other forms of correspondence and documents can be referenced in the FBLA Formatting Guide.
Some rules when creating a document with a table:
Bold titles and column headings.
Column headings may be centered over column or blocked at left of column.
Tables using both one and two line column headings should be aligned at the bottom of the cell.
For two line column headings in tables without grid lines, underline the bottom word of the heading.
Gridlines are optional unless otherwise stated.
If gridlines are not used, underline column headings and DS after heading.
Do not include $ with dollar amounts in columns. Dollar signs may be placed in Total Row.

All columns containing text should be left aligned.
The body of the table may be single or double spaced.
Tables within another document should be centered horizontally unless otherwise indicated.
DS before and after the table.
Gridlines should not be used in titles.
