MS Word / table/ columns / rows works...as would MS Excel.
Start a new Word document
From the Menu Bar select Table
Table => Insert Table => Table Size (number of rows & columns)
The new table appears as a grid
Select the cell(s) you want to fill with color (i.e. format).
From the Menu Bar select Format
Format =>Borders and Shading
Click on the Shading tab; several colors appear.
Select whichever appeals and click OK.
If you want more color options(nearly infinite number), return to the Shading tab and click on the "More Colors" button located below and to the right of the color grid.
Select the color you want, click OK and that takes you back to your table.
"Repeat as necessary".
ENJOY! (that's not on the Menu bar... ):lol:
