Edit table in Word

Creating a table is done in no time. This ensures that data is clearly arranged. There is a good chance that you will want to add to the table or make other changes at a later time. You can do that in Word. For example, easily add or delete cells, columns and rows.

Add a row like this:

• Open the Word document that contains the table.
• Right-click on the row where a row should go above or below.
• click on Insert.
• Choose Insert rows above or Insert rows below.

An additional row appears in the table.

Add a column like this:

• Right-click on the column you want a new column to appear next to.
• click on Insert.
• Choose Insert columns on the left or Insert columns on the right.

An additional column appears in the table.

Add a cell like this:

• Right-click in the cell where you want a cell next to, above, or below.
• click on Insert.
• click on Insert cells.
• Choose Move cells to the right for an extra cell to the right of the row.

You can also merge multiple cells. Do it like this:

• Select the cells you want to merge.
• Right click on the selection.
• click on Merge cells.

It is possible to split a cell into one, two, three or more cells. This is how it works:

• Right click on the cell you want to split.
• click on Split cells.
• Choose the number of columns and rows in the cell.
• click on OK.
