    Remove table


    In Word 2007 (I know) I have along table that spreads over many pages. If I want to remove a page from the middle, how do I do it? I know how to remove all the text, but can't find how to get rid of the blank table in just that page.

    Thank You

    Mouse pointer above the top of the column to be deleted (should become a downwards pointing arrow) > right-click > Delete columns

    Multiple consecutive columns : Mouse pointer above the top of the column to be deleted (should be downwards pointing arrow) > click and drag along columns > right click > Delete

    Non-consecutive columns > click first column, as above, hold Ctrl key > click selected columns

    OR

    Mouse pointer in any cell > right click > Select > column. Delete as above after selected

    Nothing wrong with that, works fine on one of my devices, as does 2003 on another device. Must drag out 2002 and see how that goes

    When I delete column, it deletes that column in all the other pages as well.

    John,

    Yes, I imagine that igdat meant to suggest hovering the cursor off to the left then selecting & deleting the unwanted rows.

    However I do it, it takes out the column in every page. I can delete it row by row, which works, but it seems a long winded way of doing it.

    If you hover the mouse over to the left of a table, and left-click-drag down, it should select all the rows (including the terminator at the RHS), then rt-click and select 'delete rows'. I would create an animation, but that takes so long (for me).

    John,
    No. Select all the rows on the page you want to ditch in one fell swoop. Just swipe the cursor down the left-hand side with the button pressed and it will select every row you pass. Then you can right-click and select Delete rows.

    That only deletes the text. How do I then remove the blank table?

    John,

    By selecting Delete rows from the right-click menu while you have the rows selected.

    That deletes the rows themselves not just the text.
