Inserting tables

To insert a table into the text, move the text cursor to the desired position and use one of the following methods:

Inserting quickly via the grid

Tables with a limited number of rows/columns and without further adjustments can be inserted directly via the grid (the table can also be further adjusted at any time afterwards):

Click on the small arrow of the icon tables_icon on the ribbon tab Insert | group Table and move the mouse over the expanded grid. Above the grid, you will see how many rows and columns you are currently selecting (you will also see a preview of the table in the document).

As soon as the table has the desired dimensions, click with the mouse into the grid and TextMaker will insert the table into the document.

Tip: To move a table, select the entire table with the mouse or with the command Select table. Then click in the middle of any cell of the selected table (while still holding down the mouse button) and drag the table elsewhere in the document. If you press the Ctrl key at the same time, the table will be copied.

Inserting via the dialog box with additional options

If you want to insert a table with any number of rows/columns and also adjust the inner margins, select the method via the dialog box:

1.Click on the icon itself tables_icon on the ribbon tab Insert | group Table. Alternatively, click on the icon's small arrow and select the entry Insert table below the grid.
