What is the minimum number of rows and columns in a table in MS Word?

In MS Word, a table is defined as a grid made up of rows and columns.
The smallest possible table you can insert is 1 × 1 (one row and one column).
This creates a single cell, which is technically still considered a table.
From there, you can expand by adding more rows or columns as needed.
Key Points
Row = horizontal arrangement of cells.
Column = vertical arrangement of cells.
A table must have at least one row and one column to exist.
You can later merge, split, or resize cells, but the starting minimum is always 1 × 1.
