144 Chapter 8 Creating Tables
To delete the contents (and background fill) of table cells:
m Select the cells and press the Delete key.
Formatting Tables
You can design tables in a variety of creative ways simply by changing the thickness
and color of cell borders, selectively removing cell borders, or merging and splitting
cells to create useful asymmetries within the table.
Adding Rows and Columns to a Table
To specify where you want to add a new row or column in your table, use the Format
menu commands.
To add a new row to a table:
m Select a table cell or row, and then choose Format > Table > Add Row Above or Add
Row Below.
To add a new column to a table:
m Select a table cell or column, and then choose Format > Table > Add Column Before
or Add Column After.
Formatting Rows and Columns
You can do basic table formatting—including merging and splitting cells, adding and
deleting rows and columns, and adding or removing the header row and column—
using the Table command in the Format menu (choose Format > Table) or the
shortcut menus, as described below. However, if you are making many changes to a
table, it may be easier to use the Table Inspector.
To open a table’s shortcut menu:
m Select the table, then hold down the Control key as you click the table again.
To open the Table Inspector:
m Choose View > Show Inspector (or click Inspector in the toolbar) and click the Table
Inspector button.
