THE STRUCTURE OF TABLES

Click into any cell and begin typing to enter text into the table cell. Cells expand vertically as you type.
Press Tab to move to the next cell or press Shift+Tab to move to 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.

      Modify > Table > Insert Row to add a row before the cursor. (shortcut key Control A)
      Modify > Table > Insert Column to add columns. (shortcut key Control + Shiftkey M)
      Modify > Table > Insert Rows or Columns

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.
