Inserting a table

Office2 lets you insert tables into your document, making it much easier to represent tabular data. You can create tables by choosing from a number of different templates. Once you have inserted a table you can then add or remove rows and columns and provide additional cell formatting.


To do insert a table, select the Insert menu item from the toolbar and select the Insert Table menu item.

A new screen will appear, letting you choose from a number of different table templates. You can swipe from right to left to view additional pages of templates. To select a template, simply tap it.

Once you have created the table you can tap on a particular cell, row or column and apply additional formatting, such as text, background color, bold and italic. To edit the text in a cell, double tap the cell. The keyboard will show, allowing you to enter some text.

To add additional rows, tap on the circular row selector icon at the bottom left of the table selection overlay (note you cannot do this if you are currently editing the text in a table cell). It is a similar process to add additional columns. Tap on the circular column selector icon at the top right of the table selection overlay.

If you have inserted a table at the very beginning of the document and wish to insert a line above the table, you must position the cursor at the start of the top left cell of the table and press the Enter key on the keyboard. This will insert a new paragraph above the table.

To delete the table, tap on the circular table selector icon at the top left of the table selection overlay. A menu will appear, containing a Cut menu item. Pressing this will remove the table.
