Manipulating columns and rows in Web page tables

To manage the tables in your Web pages, you can add a new column to the right or left of a selected cell, or a new row above or below the selected cell. You can delete unnecessary columns and rows, or you can copy an existing column or row.

• To add columns and rows:
  1. Place the cursor in a cell.
  1. To add a new column to the right of the cell, select Table > Add Column > Add to Right. To add a new column to the left of the cell, select Table > Add Column > Add to Left

  2. To add multiple columns, select Table > Specify and Add, and then specify the number and the direction of the columns.

  3. To add a new row above the cell, select Table > Add Row > Add Above. To add a new row below the cell, select Table > Add Row > Add Below.

  4. To add multiple rows, select Table > Specify and Add, and then specify the number and the direction of the rows.

• To delete columns and rows:
  1. Move the cursor into a cell in the column or row that you want to delete.

  2. Select Table > Delete Column or Table > Delete Row.

• To copy columns and rows:
  1. Move the cursor into the column or row that you want to copy.

  2. To copy a column, select Table > Copy Column. Then move the cursor to another cell and select Table > Paste Column > On Right. (Alternatively, select Table > Paste Column > On Left.)

  3. To copy a row, select Table > Copy Row. Then move the cursor to another cell and select Table > Paste Row > Above. (Alternatively, select Table > Paste Row > Below.)
