Adding, deleting, and moving rows and columns


    GoLive provides you with a variety of ways to change the number of rows and columns in a table. You can drag table edges, use context menus, press a key, or simply click a button in the Table inspector to add or remove rows and columns.

    Copy and paste a selection to replace the contents of a similar block of cells in a table. Drag a selection of cells to move the cells to a new location within the table or a different table.

To move a column or row:

  1. Select a cell or a block of adjacent cells in either the page or the Select tab of the Table palette, and then move the pointer over the square icon in the upper left corner of the selection until the pointer changes to a hand pointer changes to a hand .
  2. Drag to the desired location within the current table or to a different table. Release when a solid black line appears in the desired location. Hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you drag to move a copy of the row or column within the current table.
  3. Moving a table column in a table in the document window.

    Note: If you drag a selection of cells, you can only add the cells to a different table if the destination table has the same number of rows as the cells that you are dragging. Otherwise the selection becomes a nested table within a cell of the destination table.
