Specially Formatted Tables
These tables are based off of percentages of 100%. For instance, if you wanted to make a table with four equal sections, then you would use 25%, for three equal sections use 33%, and for two use 50%. See the examples below. In order to make them into a grid, simply repeat the process for however long you need to.
