Editing tables in Word 2002 Thread poster: Kim Metzger

|---|
I figured out how to add a row in a table by placing the cursor to the right of the last row and hitting enter. Now I\'d be grateful if someone could tell me how to delete a row.
Thanks in advance, Kim

select the row (place the cursor in front of the row and then click). then press the right mouse button to call the popup menu and you will have an option for deleting the row. I hope I was able to explain it correctly, but given the late hour, I\'m not sure you can understand it. You can email me, if this doesn\'t work.

then the mouse cursor (arrow) should change direction. By clicking once with the left mouse button you can select this row. Pressing CTRL+X will allow you to delete this row. Alternatively you can then right click with your mouse and select \"delete row\".

Then press \"Shift\" and go with the mouse cursor to the rigtht side of the table (outside of the table) and clik left. The row should be selected. Another option is clicking into the first cell, pressing shift and then, while holding shift, pressing the right arrow, until you get outside the table.
Then you can delete this row as mentioned above.
Please remember, that you can not only add/delete rows and colums in Word, but you are able to connect cells verticaly and horizontaly. And you can get your text to be placed in the middle of such cell verticaly and horizontaly. Word XP offers a lot of possibilities of formatting tables. It is a very good tool for making tables with text. If you want to calculate with tables, then it is better to swich to Excel. But using Excel for text tables is waisting time.

There are also the options of merging/splitting cells, converting table to text and vice versa, sorting etc etc etc.
You can also reach these (and some other options) by right-clicking on the table.

When in doubt, right click. or select and right click.
You got most basic stuff covered that way. Actually, most of the time it is just a matter of reading what it says and doing it.
