Modifying Tables

Once tables are on a page, you can add information by clicking in any cell and typing. Or, you can further modify your tables using any of these tools:

• Click any gridline on a table to select it and then drag the handles to resize the entire table. You cannot drag individual cell lines.

  By default, a new table has its border width set to 0. You can see the table in the editor with each cell outlined with dotted, grey lines. You can turn these lines on or off by clicking the Show/Hide Border button at the bottom of the editor.

  

• Right‑click any selected table and choose Set Table Properties to further modify it.
• To remove a table completely, select the table, right‑click and choose Delete Table from the popup menu.

  As you work with your table, note the grey area at the bottom of the editor. This displays several options for modifying your table without opening the Table Properties dialog box.

• Click in any cell, then right click to display a pop‑up menu which allows you to:
  • Insert columns or rows
  • Merge cells together (you must select two or more cells first)
  • Split cells to add additional rows or columns
  • Delete a row, column or cell
  • Open the Table or Cell Properties dialog
  • Turn cell borders on or off
