Dreamweaver MX: The Missing Manual

Adding and Removing Rows and Columns

Even after inserting a table into a Web page, you can add and subtract rows and columns from your table. The text or images in the columns move right or down to accommodate their new next-door neighbor.

Adding One Row or Column

To add a single row to the table, you can use any of these approaches:

• Click inside a cell. Choose Modify→Table→Insert Row, or press Ctrl+M (-M), to insert a new row of cells above the current row. Alternatively, you can right-click (Control-click) a cell and choose Table→Insert Row from the contextual menu.

• To add a new row at the end of a table, click inside the last cell in the table and then press Tab.

The new columns inherit the properties (width, height, background color, and so on) as the column you originally clicked.

To add a single column of cells:

• Click inside a cell and then choose Modify→Table→Insert Column.

• Click inside a cell and then press Shift+Ctrl+A (Shift--A).

• Right-click (Control-click) a cell, and then choose Table→Insert Column from the contextual menu that appears.

In each case, a new column appears to the right of the current column.

Adding Multiple Rows or Columns

When you need to expand your table more rapidly, you can use a special dialog box that lets you add many rows or columns at once.
