Creating Tables

 To add or remove rows, type the total number of rows you want in the table in the

Rows field and press Return. Rows are added to or removed from the bottom of the

table.

 To add or remove columns, type the number of columns you want in the Columns

field and press Return. Columns are added to or removed from the right side of the

table.

To delete table rows or columns:

1

Select the row or column or a cell in it.

2

Click the Edit Rows & Columns pop-up menu in the Table pane of the Table Inspector,

and then choose Delete Row or Delete Column. Alternatively, you can choose Format

> Table or hold down the Control key as you click to open a table formatting menu

(choose Delete).

Note: If you select cells and press the Delete key, only the cell contents are deleted.

Adding Table Header Rows and Columns

Header rows and columns contain special formatting to set them off from the rest of

the table text (header text might be boldface and bigger, for example). Header rows

and columns look different from the rest of the table cells, but you can change their

style. You cannot split a header row into multiple rows, or header columns into

multiple columns.

To add a header row or column:

1

Select the table.

2

Click Inspector in the toolbar (or choose View > Show Inspector), and then click the

Table Inspector button. In the Table pane, select Header Row and/or Header Column.

You can also choose Add Header Row or Add Header Column from the table

formatting menu, choose Format > Table, or Control-click a table to open a formatting

menu.
