I typed a table in Pages, and stored it. When I came to open it again to edit, all the four columns had merged into one, and I had to start moving the columns back into line.

Can anyone tell me where I went wrong, as I am reluctant to store the table again in case the problem happens again!

When you create a new Pages document from the Template choice, just save it before you enter any content. This activates autosave.


In my Pages experience, whether I enter content in an inserted table or not, that table does not change its rows or columns when properly saved or autosaved. If you are attempting to save that Pages document to another cloud service, it may fail to save or autosave properly, and in that case, all content would be lost when you exited Pages.
