Copy, paste, and delete cells
You can copy, paste, or delete
a single table cell or multiple cells at once, preserving the cells’
formatting.
You can paste cells at the insertion point or
in place of a selection in an existing table. To paste multiple
table cells, the contents of the Clipboard must be compatible with
the structure of the table or the selection in the table in which the
cells will be pasted.
Cut or copy table cells- Select one or more cells in a contiguous
line and in the shape of a rectangle.
In the following illustration, the selection is a rectangle
of cells, so the cells can be cut or copied.
In
the following illustration, the selection is not a rectangle, so
the cells can’t be cut or copied.
- Select Edit > Cut or Edit > Copy.
Note: If you selected an entire row or column and you select
Edit > Cut, the entire row or column is removed from
the table (not just the contents of the cells).
Paste table cells- Select where you want to paste the cells:
To replace existing cells with the cells
you are pasting, select a set of existing cells with the same layout
as the cells on the clipboard. (For example, if you’ve copied or
cut a 3 x 2 block of cells, you can select another 3 x 2 block of
cells to replace by pasting.)
To paste a full row of cells above a particular
cell, click in that cell.
To paste a full column of cells to the left of a
particular cell, click in that cell.
Note: If you have less than
a full row or column of cells in the clipboard, and you click in
a cell and paste the cells from the clipboard, the cell you clicked
in and its neighbors may (depending on its location in the table)
be replaced with the cells you are pasting.
To create a new table with the pasted cells, place
the insertion point outside of the table.
- Select Edit > Paste.
If you are pasting entire rows or columns into an existing
table, the rows or columns are added to the table. If you are pasting
an individual cell, the contents of the selected cell are replaced.
If you are pasting outside a table, the rows, columns, or cells
are used to define a new table.
Remove cell content but leave the cells intact- Select one or more cells.
Note: Make sure the selection does not consist entirely of
complete rows or columns.
- Select Edit > Clear or press Delete.
Note: If only complete rows or columns are selected when you
select Edit > Clear or press Delete, the entire rows
or columns—not just their contents—are removed from the table.
Delete rows or columns that contain merged cells- Select the row or column.
- Select Modify > Table > Delete
Row, or Modify > Table > Delete Column.
