expand vertically as you type.

the previous cell.
Pressing Tab in the last cell of a table automatically adds another
row.
Click on the bottom edge of the table to select it in its entirety (or
click inside and select Edit > Select All). Black selection handles
appear which you can drag to adjust the size.
Adding
rows and columns:
To add rows or columns to a table: Position the cursor in a cell where
you want the new row or column to appear.
In
the dialog box that appears, enter the number of rows or columns you
want to add. Specify whether the new rows or columns should appear before
or after the selected row or column. Click OK.
Deleting rows and columns:
Select a row by pointing and clicking at the leftmost border of the
row (a black arrow appears). When a row is selected, a black rectangular
border appears around the cells in the row.
Hit the backspace key to delete the selected row or click into a cell
and drag the cursor to an adjacent cell - both show black borders then
you can hit the backspace key to delete.
To select a group of non-adjacent cells, hold down the Control key and
click the cells in turn.
Changing
row or column size:
To change row height, drag the bottom row border.
To change column width, drag the right column border; or choose Column
Properties from the shortcut menu and enter the width of the column
in pixels or as a percentage of the width of the table.
Note: the table tags in the bottom left corner of the screen
- you can use these to set properties for the whole table, like a background
colour, or to select rows or columns.
