WEBVTT 1 00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:17.210 In the previous module, we opened Section 04 20 00 and navigated to subpart 2 00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:23.660 2.5.3 in order to focus on Inserting a Formatted Table using Revisions. 3 00:00:23.930 --> 00:00:28.820 Now it's time to demonstrate how you would add or delete single or multiple rows and 4 00:00:28.820 --> 00:00:34.610 columns. Also, if you recall, we have two right-click menus available while editing 5 00:00:34.610 --> 00:00:35.960 formatted tables. 6 00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:41.870 The Table Menu is activated by hovering over an element of a formatted table then 7 00:00:41.870 --> 00:00:48.170 right-clicking. Whereas to activate the Edit Menu, you must click inside of a cell so you 8 00:00:48.170 --> 00:00:50.930 are in the Edit Mode and then right-click. 9 00:00:51.440 --> 00:00:57.560 I find that using the right-click Table Menu is the easiest way to accomplish most tasks. 10 00:00:57.980 --> 00:01:02.030 Let's place our cursor over the fourth row beginning with "Pumice". 11 00:01:02.210 --> 00:01:08.120 Right-click to activate the Table Menu, then slide down, and select Insert. 12 00:01:08.740 --> 00:01:14.530 You will see that you have the choice to Insert a Row Above or Below Row 4, or to 13 00:01:14.530 --> 00:01:17.950 Insert a Column Before or After Column 1. 14 00:01:18.130 --> 00:01:23.200 Naturally, the choices provided will vary depending on the cursor location and action 15 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.390 when you activate the Table Menu. 16 00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:31.390 At this time, you can delete multiple columns, but you can only insert one column 17 00:01:31.390 --> 00:01:36.790 at a time. Let's go ahead and choose to Insert the Row Above Row 4. 18 00:01:37.420 --> 00:01:42.050 With the new row in place, you can begin adding text to your table. 19 00:01:42.070 --> 00:01:46.900 Since we are demonstrating how to add and delete rows and columns, let's place our 20 00:01:46.900 --> 00:01:48.730 cursor over the new row. 21 00:01:49.810 --> 00:01:55.000 Now, right-click to activate the Table Menu and select Delete. 22 00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:58.880 Now let's choose Row 4. 23 00:02:00.910 --> 00:02:03.880 This time we are going to Add Multiple Rows Below "Pumice". 24 00:02:03.880 --> 00:02:09.640 To do this, place your cursor over the fourth row beginning with "Pumice", 25 00:02:09.670 --> 00:02:14.880 left-click, then drag your mouse to highlight rows 4 and 5. 26 00:02:14.890 --> 00:02:18.840 Once they are highlighted, release the left mouse button. 27 00:02:18.850 --> 00:02:22.990 This feature will insert the same number of rows that you've highlighted. 28 00:02:23.170 --> 00:02:28.300 If by chance you do not highlight the correct area, click outside of the formatted 29 00:02:28.300 --> 00:02:30.220 table and try again. 30 00:02:30.220 --> 00:02:36.010 With the two rows highlighted, right-click to activate the Table Menu, scroll down and 31 00:02:36.010 --> 00:02:40.810 select Insert, and choose Rows Below Selected Rows. 32 00:02:41.380 --> 00:02:46.990 Likewise, if we want to delete the two rows, let's highlight the two rows that we just 33 00:02:46.990 --> 00:02:52.990 added, right-click, scroll down and select Delete, 34 00:02:53.650 --> 00:02:56.170 and choose Selected Rows. 35 00:02:58.310 --> 00:03:03.350 Now that we have mastered adding single and multiple rows, let's add a column. 36 00:03:03.590 --> 00:03:07.740 As a reminder, the software only supports adding a single column. 37 00:03:07.760 --> 00:03:13.100 Let's place our cursor over the fourth column, beginning with "3 hours", right-click 38 00:03:13.100 --> 00:03:19.790 to activate the Table Menu, scroll down, select Insert, and then choose Column 39 00:03:19.790 --> 00:03:21.410 After Column 3. 40 00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:27.860 If we were actually deleting this table for a Job, we might only want to use the last 41 00:03:27.860 --> 00:03:30.950 column of data beginning with "2 hours". 42 00:03:30.950 --> 00:03:35.960 Before we actually delete the three columns, you will see that we have merged cell 43 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:37.310 containing text. 44 00:03:37.790 --> 00:03:44.410 Let's copy the contents of the cell by selecting the Cell, now right-click to 45 00:03:44.410 --> 00:03:48.930 select the Edit Menu, and choose Copy. 46 00:03:51.670 --> 00:03:55.660 Now we are ready to delete columns two, three, and four. 47 00:03:55.900 --> 00:04:01.660 Let's highlight the columns, beginning with "4 hours" through the column we added. 48 00:04:04.250 --> 00:04:11.000 Now we're going to right-click, scroll down and select Delete, and choose Selected 49 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:17.690 Columns. Now we need to paste the text back into the cell just above 50 00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:18.890 "2 hours". 51 00:04:19.280 --> 00:04:25.520 Let's select the blank cell so that we are in Edit Mode, right-click, 52 00:04:25.910 --> 00:04:27.560 and choose Paste. 53 00:04:30.790 --> 00:04:35.920 Knowing the proper techniques for inserting and deleting rows and columns makes a world 54 00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.500 of difference while editing these tables. 55 00:04:38.980 --> 00:04:43.930 Now you can proceed to the next module to continue your learning experience.
