To the top
To paste a full column of cells to the left of a particular cell, click in that cell.
Note: If you have less than a full row or column of cells in the clipboard, and you click in a cell and paste the cells from the clipboard,
the cell you clicked in and its neighbors may (depending on its location in the table) be replaced with the cells you are pasting.
To create a new table with the pasted cells, place the insertion point outside of the table.
2. Select Edit > Paste.
If you are pasting entire rows or columns into an existing table, the rows or columns are added to the table. If you are pasting an individual
cell, the contents of the selected cell are replaced. If you are pasting outside a table, the rows, columns, or cells are used to define a new
table.
Remove cell content but leave the cells intact
1. Select one or more cells.
Note: Make sure the selection does not consist entirely of complete rows or columns.
2. Select Edit > Clear or press Delete.
Note: If only complete rows or columns are selected when you select Edit > Clear or press Delete, the entire rows or columns—not just
their contents—are removed from the table.
Delete rows or columns that contain merged cells
1. Select the row or column.
2. Select Modify > Table > Delete Row, or Modify > Table > Delete Column.
Nest tables
A nested table is a table inside a cell of another table. You can format a nested table as you would any other table; however, its width is limited by
the width of the cell in which it appears.
1. Click in a cell of the existing table.
2. Select Insert > Table, set the Insert Table options, and click OK.
Sort tables
You can sort the rows of a table based on the contents of a single column. You can also perform a more complicated table sort based on the
contents of two columns.
You cannot sort tables that contain colspan or rowspan attributes—that is, tables that contain merged cells.
1. Select the table or click in any cell.
2. Select Commands > Sort Table, set the options in the dialog box, and click OK.
Sort By Determines which column’s values will be used to sort the table’s rows.
Order Determines whether to sort the column alphabetically or numerically, and whether to sort it in ascending order (A to Z, lower numbers
to higher numbers) or descending order.
When the contents of a column are numbers, select Numerically. An alphabetic sort applied to a list of one- and two-digit numbers results in
the numbers being sorted as if they were words (resulting in ordering such as 1, 10, 2, 20, 3, 30) rather than being sorted as numbers
(resulting in ordering such as 1, 2, 3, 10, 20, 30).
Then By/Order Determines the sorting order for a secondary sort on a different column. Specify the secondary-sort column in the Then By
pop-up menu, and the secondary sort order in the Order pop-up menus.
Sort Includes The First Row Specifies that the first row of the table should be included in the sort. If the first row is a heading that should
not be moved, do not select this option.
Sort Header Rows Specifies to sort all the rows in the table’s thead section (if any) using the same criteria as the body rows. (Note that
thead rows remain in the thead section and still appear at the top of the table even after sorting.) For information about the thead tag, see
the Reference panel (select Help > Reference).
Sort Footer Rows Specifies to sort all the rows in the table’s tfoot section (if any) using the same criteria as the body rows. (Note that tfoot
rows remain in the tfoot section and still appear at the bottom of the table even after sorting.) For information about the tfoot tag, see the
Reference panel (select Help > Reference).
Keep All Row Colors The Same After The Sort Has Been Completed Specifies that table row attributes (such as color) should remain
associated with the same content after the sort. If your table rows are formatted with two alternating colors, do not select this option to
ensure that the sorted table still has alternating-colored rows. If the row attributes are specific to the content of each row, then select this
option to ensure that those attributes remain associated with the correct rows in the sorted table.
