184 Chapter 8 Using Tables

Deleting Table Rows and Columns

There are several techniques available for deleting one or more rows or columns of a

table.

Here are ways to delete rows or columns:

m Select the row(s) or column(s) or a cell in them, and then choose Format > Table >

Delete Row or Format > Table > Delete Column.

m To delete one or more rows or columns, select them and then choose Delete Row or

Delete Column from the Edit Rows & Columns pop-up menu in the Table Inspector. You

can also access these commands by choosing Format > Table > Delete Row or

Format > Table > Delete Column.

You can also delete rows and columns by using the controls in the Format Bar.

Using a Table Header Row or Column

Use header rows and columns to label the data in rows and columns. Header rows and

columns are formatted so that they stand out from the other rows and columns. A

header row consists of the topmost cell in each column. A header column consists of

the leftmost cell in each row.

Header rows appear on each page of inline tables if the table spans more than one

page. Header rows appear at the beginning of each column or linked text box if the

table spans columns or linked text boxes. If a table spans multiple pages, columns, or

text boxes, editing the text or changing the look of the header row or column in one

place changes it consistently throughout the table.

You can’t split a header row or footer row into multiple rows or header columns into

multiple columns.

Here are ways to add or delete a header row or column:

m Select the table, and then select Header Row or Header Column in the Table pane of

the Table Inspector.

m Select the table and choose one of the following options: Format > Table > Add Header

Row, Format > Table > Delete Header Row, Format > Table > Add Header Column, or

Format > Table > Delete Header Column.

m If a table spans pages and you want to repeat headers at the top of each page, select

“Repeat header cells on each page” in the Table Options area of the Table Inspector.

The cells in a header row or header column are referred to as header cells. Header cells

play an important role in making formulas in table cells easier to read and create. See

“Using Cell References” on page 195 and “Applying a Formula Once to Cells in a Column

or Row” on page 197 to learn more.
