Deleting rows columns and Tables

Removing a row, column or table is not as simple as selecting and pressing the delete key. Pressing the delete key simply deletes the contents of the cell.

Deleting a row or column

As with most operations in Microsoft Word, there are several ways that a column or row may deleted.
The simplest method is probably:

• place the cursor in the row or column to be deleted

• from the table menu select Delete

• select either Rows or Columns from the menu

Alternatively, as show to picture the right:

• Select the row or column with the mouse

• right mouse click

• select Delete Column or Delete Rows as appropriate

Deleting a table

To delete an entire table:

• place the cursor in the table

• from the Table menu select Delete

• from the menu select Table
