Table Of Contents
additional data is extracted during an update, or conversely, there are fewer
columns or rows containing extracted data.
For example, if you added a row and column to a table after you inserted into
the drawing, the area populated with extracted data will be expanded by an
additional column after the table is updated. The column and row that you
manually added are still part of the table, but a blank cell is created where a
void exists in the table.
Using the same example, if the table was updated and the number of columns
and rows containing extracted data were reduced, the columns and rows you
inserted would remain in the same place. The area that originally contained
data extraction columns and rows is now replaced with blank cells.
Edit Cell Content
Data cells are locked by default in order to prevent unintentional changes.
You can manually unlock a cell to edit its contents. When the table updates,
you are given a choice to overwrite the edited cells or choose to have the
update not update the cells.
