Chapter 3 Using Tables 51
A copy of your reusable table can now be added to the current spreadsheet by
choosing it from the menu of predened tables that appears when you click Tables
in the toolbar or choose Insert > Table.
To rearrange, rename, or delete tables on the menu, choose Format > Advanced >
Manage Tables. Double-click a name to change the name of a predened table. Select
a table and click the up or down arrow button to move it up or down in the list of
tables. Click the Delete (–) button to remove a table. Click Done when you’ve nished.
The table and menu changes apply only to the current spreadsheet. If you want your
reusable tables and menu changes to be available in other spreadsheets, save the
spreadsheet as a template, using the instructions in “Saving a Custom Template” on
page 246.
