Add and rearrange rows and columns

If a table extends onto multiple pages, you can set the header rows so that they appear at the top of the table on each page.

Add or remove columns and rows

Click anywhere in the table, then do any of the following:

Add or remove columns on the right side of the table: Click , then click an arrow to increase or decrease the number of columns.
Add or remove rows on the bottom of the table: Click , then click an arrow to increase or decrease the number of rows.
Add a row or column anywhere in the table: Control-click a cell, then choose where you want to add the row or column (above, below, before, or after the selected cell).
You can also move the pointer over the numbered or lettered bar for the row or column next to where you want to add, click the down arrow, then choose where to add the row or column.
Delete a row or column anywhere in the table: Control-click a cell in the row or column you want to delete, then choose Delete Row or Delete Column.
You can also move the pointer over the numbered or lettered bar for the row or column you want to delete, click the down arrow, then choose Delete Row or Delete Column.

Move rows and columns within a table

Select one or more rows or columns, then do either of the following:
- Move rows: Press the numbered bars for the rows so they appear to lift off the table, then drag above or below another row.
- Move columns: Press the lettered bars for the columns so they appear to lift off the table, then drag to the right or left of another column.

Tip: If you drag rows or columns outside of an existing table, you create a new table with them.

Add or remove headers and footers

Adding header rows, header columns, and footer rows converts existing rows and columns into 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 using the same data. Data in header cells isn’t included in charts or formulas.

Click anywhere in the table.
Click the Table tab at the top of the sidebar on the right.
If you don’t see a sidebar, or it doesn’t have a Table tab, click in the toolbar.
Click the pop-up menus under Headers & Footers, then choose the number of header rows, header columns, and footer rows you want.

Repeat header rows on multiple pages

Click the header row.
Move the pointer over the row number on the left, then click the small arrow that appears.
Choose Repeat Header Rows on Each Page.
