Manage Table Structure

Insert Table Elements

Use Insert commands in the Actions category to add new rows and columns. The added cells inherit the source cells' size and appearance settings.

• Insert Row Above

  Inserts a row above the current cell and shifts the existing rows up if there is enough space above the table (otherwise, shifts the existing rows down).

  

• Insert Row Below

  Inserts a row below the current cell and shifts the existing rows down. This command increases the band height to accommodate all the rows if there is not enough space under the table.

  

• Insert Column to Left

  Inserts a new column to the left of the current cell and shifts the leftmost columns to the left (otherwise, shifts these columns to the right).

  

• Insert Columns to Right

  Inserts a new column to the right of the current cell and shifts the rightmost columns to the right. This command decreases all columns' width proportionally to accommodate all the columns if there is not enough space to the right of the table.

  

• Insert Cell

  Divides the current cell width in half and inserts a new cell to the left. The added cell copies the source cell's appearance settings.

  

Delete Table Elements

Use Delete commands in the Actions category to remove table elements.

• Delete Cell

  Deletes a table cell and stretches the next cell to occupy the remaining space. If this cell is the last in the row, the previous cell is stretched.

  

• Delete Row

  Deletes a row and shifts the existing rows up.

  

• Delete Column

  Deletes a column and stretches the next column to the left. If this column is the last in the table, the previous column is stretched.
