  • Insert, delete or merge cells of a table by right clicking in the applicable cell of the table and selecting the desired action
  • When working with a table there are additional formatting options available at the bottom of the layout section
  • When you click in a cell of a table, the formatting options at the bottom will apply to that cell only
  • To apply formatting to a row, click a cell in that row then click on TR in the gray section towards the bottom of the layout

  • To apply formatting to the table, click a cell in the table then click on TABLE in the gray section towards the bottom of the layout. 

    Info
    When a table is created a blank space is placed into each cell.  When that extra space is used with a variable it can affect the layout (for example, the variable may be slightly higher or lower then the other text in that row.  If that happens delete the extra space.
