Changing Rows and Columns, Merging Cells

Other than adding text or changing individual cell properties, which are done using the Modify Text tool, table changes are made with the Edit Tool.

Note: For details on the Edit Tool, see Edit Tool.

2. To add a row or column, press Shift and click the cell to the left or above where the new item will go.
