To delete rows, columns, or tables

• To delete a row, column, or table, place the insertion point inside the table, or select text in the table, and then

choose Table > Delete > Row, Column, or Table.

• To delete rows and columns by using the Table Options dialog box, choose Table > Table Options > Table Setup.

Specify a different number of rows and columns, and then click OK. Rows are deleted from the bottom of the table;

columns are deleted from the right side of the table.

• To delete a row or column by using the mouse, position the pointer over the border of the bottom or right side of

the table so that a double-arrow icon ( or

) appears; hold down the mouse button; and then hold down Alt

(Windows) or Option (Mac OS) while dragging either up to delete rows, or to the left to delete columns.

Note: If you press Alt or Option before holding down the mouse button, the Hand tool will appear—so press Alt or Option

after you begin dragging.

• To delete cell contents without deleting cells, select the cells containing the text you want to delete, or use the Type

tool

to select the text within the cells. Press Backspace or Delete, or choose Edit > Clear.

To cut, copy, and paste cells

When text is selected within a cell, cutting, copying, and pasting actions are the same as for text selected outside a

table. You can also cut, copy, and paste cells and their contents. If the insertion point is in a table when you paste,

multiple pasted cells appear as a table within a table.

1 Select the cells you want to cut or copy, and then choose Edit > Cut or Edit > Copy.

to the right of the selected cell—and then choose Edit > Paste.
