Adding elements to the table

You add elements-text or images-to a table individually according to the cell you select.

Note If you select the entire table and start typing or insert an element, the table is deleted.

To enter text in a cell, click in the cell to select it and start typing. To add an image or other element, select the cell and choose the element from the Insert menu.

As you type, the cell expands downward with all of the other cells in the same row of the table. The cell also expands to accommodate the height of an image or other element. The width of the cell, however, remains the same. For information on changing the width of the cell, see Changing the cell width or height.

You can copy and paste text, images, and other elements from one cell to another in a table, from another open Web page into your table, or from another application into your table.

You can also drag elements from one cell to another cell or from an open Web page to your table.

To delete an element in a cell, select the element and press Backspace or Delete. To delete an entire row or column, including its contents, double-click one of the cells to open the Table Object Editor, click the Table tab, and click Remove Row or Remove Column.
