Resize, move, or lock 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 the table, then click in its top-left corner.

2. Drag any of the white squares on the edge of the table to make the table larger or smaller:

   • Resize the rows and columns simultaneously: Drag the white square in the corner.

   • Resize the table proportionally: Shift-drag the white square in the corner.

   

• Click the table, then drag in its top-left corner.

  Note: If the table doesn’t move freely, it might be set to move along with text as you type. To change this setting, click the table; in the Format  sidebar, click the Arrange tab; then click Stay on Page.

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

Do one of the following:

• Lock a table: Click the table, then choose Arrange > Lock (from the Arrange menu at the top of your screen).

• Unlock a table: Click the table, then choose Arrange > Unlock.
