    With the cursor in one of the cells of the table, go to Format in the menu bar and select Table.

     

    You change the rows and columns by changing the numbers in these fields. To delete, enter a 0. (zero)

    Thanks for your response. This adds to the bottom of the table only.

     

    I need the ability to add or delete rows and columns in between others as in MS word. Can't seem to find a way to do this.

     

    Thanks

    Your problem, hardware or software, may not be exactly the same as that of the original poster of this older thread, and it can be very confusing for everybody if we try to answer more than one question in each thread, which can also result in you applying the wrong advice to your particular problem.

     

    In order for us to give your problem our proper attention to try to solve it, would you kindly start your own thread, describing the trouble you are having in the fullest detail, including completing your details to show what Mac or iDevice you are using, what operating system, and what version of the application in question. Please remember to post in the forum relevant to your hardware or version of OS X. A full list of all the support forums is here:
