You can also easily add a new row at the end of the table by placing your cursor in the last cell of the last row and pressing Tab.

In some cases changing tables breaks the table or otherwise results in something you didn’t expect. If this happens, let us know at Website and Communications Support and we’ll fix it for you.

Remove a table

Right-click the table, then select Delete Table. Or, for a touchscreen device, select the entire table, then press Delete or Backspace.

Format tables using stylesheet classes

Table styles enable you to control a table’s appearance. Specify one or more table style class names in the Stylesheet Classes field on the advanced table properties dialog. To use more than one style class name, separate them with a space character.

  • image-columns-3

  • replaces the deprecated class names people and people2018
  • use image-columns-2 image-left to specify a 2-column table of people info with headshots in the left column
  • use image-columns-2 image-right to specify a 2-column table of people info with headshots in the right column
  • use image-columns-3 image-left to specify a 3-column table of people info with headshots in the left column
  • use image-columns-3 image-right to specify a 3-column table of people info with headshots in the right column
  • using image-columns-3 automatically implements print1col because these 3-column tables won't fit well in our default 2-column print layouts
