\section{Editing the Properties of a Table}

Use the Properties command to set column width and alignment, set the table
baseline, or add or remove cell lines.

You can make other changes to tables from the commands on the \hyperref{Edit
menu}{}{}{Edit_menu_commands.tex}.

\begin{tabular}{ll}
\textbf{Use} & \textbf{To} \\ 
Insert Rows & Add rows \\ 
Insert Columns & Add columns \\ 
Delete Columns & Remove columns \\ 
Merge Cells & Combine cells horizontally \\ 
Split Cells & Split previously merged cells
\end{tabular}

Use the keyboard to delete the contents of a cell or cells, the contents of
a row or column, and the row or column itself. You can use standard text and
mathematics editing techniques to revise the contents of a table by changing
the contents of its cells.

\subsubsection{$\blacktriangleright $\quad To edit the properties of a table}

\begin{enumerate}
\item  Do one of the following:

\begin{itemize}
\item  Select the entire table.

or

\item  Select any group of cells.

or

\item  Select the entire contents of a single cell.

or

\item  Place the insertion point to the right of the table.
\end{itemize}

\item  Click \FRAME{itbpF}{22.4375pt}{21.0625pt}{2pt}{}{}{property.wmf}{%
\special{language "Scientific Word";type "GRAPHIC";maintain-aspect-ratio
TRUE;display "PICT";valid_file "F";width 22.4375pt;height 21.0625pt;depth
2pt;original-width 17.8125pt;original-height 16.9375pt;cropleft "0";croptop
"1";cropright "1";cropbottom "0";filename 'property.wmf';file-properties
"XNPEU";}}or from the Edit menu, choose Properties.

\item  From the Table Properties dialog box, click the tab for the tab sheet
you want.

\item  From the tab sheet, change the properties of the table.

\item  If you want to change the properties on another tab sheet, click the
tab.

\item  When all your changes have been made, choose OK.
\end{enumerate}

\subsubsection{$\blacktriangleright $\quad To delete the contents of a cell}

\begin{enumerate}
\item  Select the contents of the cell

\item  Press delete or backspace to remove the contents of the cell and
replace it with an empty input box.
\end{enumerate}

Note that if you select and delete the contents of an entire row or column
in a single operation, the program deletes the row or column from the table.
To delete the contents of a row or column but keep the row or column in the
table, delete the contents of at least one cell in a separate
operation.\medskip
