If there is a table in a document executed in OpenOffice.org, Abiword, or Microsoft Word, the number of rows and columns in it is not fixed. If necessary, they can be added, thereby increasing the number of table items and their parameters.
Instructions
Step 1
Open the document that contains the table. To do this, select the menu item "File" - "Open" or press Ctrl-O. Find the file in a particular folder, and then press the OK key. Find the table in your document to add a continuation to
Step 2
Place the cursor in the table cell after which you want to place the next column or row.
Step 3
Bring the arrow to the same cell, then press the right mouse button.
Step 4
In the menu that appears, select "Row" - "Insert" or "Column" - "Insert".
Step 5
In the "Amount" input field, enter the number of added rows or columns using the keyboard. You can also increase or decrease their number using the arrow buttons on the right side of the field.
Step 6
Select the position of the added rows or columns: before or after the cell in which the cursor is currently located.
Step 7
Click the OK button. Rows or columns will be added, but they will be blank. Enter the required information in them.
Step 8
After adding new cells, you may need to edit the type of border of existing ones. To do this, by moving the cursor to any of the table cells, in the text editor menu, select "Format" - "Table".
Step 9
When the window opens, select the "Borders" tab in it. Then activate one of the ready-made border options in the "Predefined" field, or customize the appearance of each of the walls in the "User-defined" field.
Step 10
If you made a mistake while adjusting the frame, press the "Restore" button, and then configure the parameters again. When all errors have been eliminated, click the OK button, and the table view will change to the one you set. Then immediately save the document to a new file ("File" - "Save As") or to the same file (Ctrl-S). If you are using an OpenOffice.org editor and using a format that is not the main one for the editor, confirm that the format is not changed.
