I'm working on a class project, and the PDF with the instructions is written, very poorly. I have been able to work everything out, thus far. But I have finally hit a brick wall as far as deciphering the terrible directions. Here are the instructions:

Step 14. is the indecipherable part. Things I have tried: Click on the Table (with the text in it), then go up to "Design", and deselect the Header Row. Then go back to "Home", and move over to "Shape Effects" to find the "Bevel" option, but it is always shaded out, and cannot be selected. I have also tried selecting only the two, lower rows, and repeating these steps. No go. "Edit: Quite honestly, I'm not having success with the latter portion, either--adjusting the table Height nor centering the text vertically."

Can anyone make sense of these instructions? Unfortunately, this class was not intended to teach us Office, and yet we are required to use it. But this wasn't listed anywhere in the requirements nor supplemental information. In fact, in the actual Syllabus, the teachers comments are quite snarky sounding, "If you don't know how to do these steps, Google it!" Wow, really?

p.s. No amount of Google searches is helping me figure this out, which leads me to believe the instructions are simply, written like doo-doo.

Oh, I see what I was doing wrong. Going to "Home" was incorrect. I needed to stay under the "Design" tab of "Table Tools" and use "Effects". For whatever reason, adjusting the text position went as normal after using the correct Bevel effect. *shrug*
