Moving a Table Row
Summary: Want to move a row in a table very easily? You can do so by using the same editing techniques you are already using. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, Word 2003, and Word 2007.)
Moving a row in a table is almost as easy as moving regular text. It is done by using the Clipboard. To move a row, follow these steps:
- Select the row you want to move.
- Press Ctrl+X, click on the cut tool on the toolbar, or choose Cut from the Edit menu. This removes the row from the table and copies it to the Clipboard.
- Move the insertion point to the beginning of the row before which you want to place the row you just cut.
- Press Ctrl+V, click on the paste tool on the toolbar, or choose Paste from the Edit meu.
