Word should include a few more table features (such as inserting new rows) in
the options menu (when you right-click), and remove some less-used features such as the split cells option. I know that there are some keyboard shortcuts, such as 'tab'ing at the end of a row creating a new row, but having these important features in the right-click menu really help. |

You can add items to a right-click menu via ToolsCustomize. In
the Customize dialog box, click the Toolbars tab. Display the context menus. Then click the Commands tab and drag the desired commands to the proper context menu. Delete the ones that you don't need. -- Stefan Blom "RaviS" wrote in message ...

Hi Ravi,
To add one bit to Stefan's reply, the Insert Row choice is available in the right click menu for a table depending on the context of the selection you have made. For example if you go to the left margin of the table and click to select a row then right click Word should show you the option of adding a row (i.e. the context is row based). Using Tools=Customize=Toolbars=[x] Shortcut menus you can add the commands in that Stefan mentioned so that it appears without selecting a row first. ======= "RaviS" wrote in message ...

RaviS was telling us:
RaviS nous racontait que : Word should include a few more table features (such as inserting new rows) in the options menu (when you right-click), and remove some less-used features such as the split cells option. I know that there are some keyboard shortcuts, such as 'tab'ing at the end of a row creating a new row, but having these important features in the right-click menu really help. To add to what Bob so eloquently wrote: Furthermore, if you select, let's say, 4 rows, Word will insert 4 rows. The same with columns. Bring your cursor near the top edge of the table until it turns into a little thick black down arrow, click (or click and drag) to select a column (or many columns). -- Salut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP ISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org |

I'm in Word 2003. When I follow your directions, I get to at least 3
different table-related menus. Which is the right one to use (and what are the others for?)? Thx. much. toms "Bob Buckland ?:-)" 75214.226(At Beautiful Downtown)compuserve.com wrote in message ...

That's rather the point. g The reason shortcut menus are also called
"context menus" is that which one you get depends on the context. When you decide that a command is so essential to you that you want it to be available in *any* context, you may find that there are rather more contexts than you realized that you have to add it to! In the case of tables, there are actually seven different shortcut menus: Linked Whole Table, Table Cell, Table Headings, Table Lists, Table Text, Tables, and Whole Tables. Table Cell and Table Text are the most granular levels. -- Suzanne S.

Yes, absolutely (if bewilderingly) true.
