Move, resize, and lock a table

When you click a table, controls appear around it so you can select, move, resize, and lock it.

Select a table

Three selection handles (the white squares) appear on the edge of the table when it’s selected.

Resize a table

Resizing a table makes the table larger or smaller; it doesn’t change the number of rows and columns it contains.

  1. Click anywhere in the table.

  2. Drag Table handle in the top-left corner to move the table to where you want it on the sheet.

Lock or unlock a table

You can lock a table so that it can’t be edited, moved, or deleted.
