Add or remove rows and columns

You can add, delete, and rearrange rows and columns in a table. There are three types of rows and columns:

A table showing header, body, and footer rows and columns, and handles for adding or deleting rows or columns.

Add or remove header rows and columns

Adding header rows, header columns, and footer rows converts existing rows or columns to headers or footers. For example, if you have data in the first row of a table and you add a header row, the first row is converted to a header that contains the same data. Data in header cells isn’t used in calculations.

  1. Click the table, then in the Format  sidebar, click the Table tab.

  2. Click the pop-up menus below Headers & Footers, then choose the number of header rows, header columns, or footer rows you want.
