It is sometimes difficult for a novice user to remember the location, the way of invoking and using various tools in programs. So, when editing tables in Microsoft Office Word and Microsoft Office Excel, the question may arise about how to add a row to the tabular section of the document.
Instructions
Step 1
There are several ways to add a row to a table in the Word text editor. Click on the "Insert" tab. In the "Table" section, click on the button in the form of an arrow - a menu will expand. In the drop-down menu, select the "Draw Table" command. The mouse cursor changes to a pencil. Draw a horizontal line with this "pencil" in the row of the table you need. The existing line will be split into two lines.
Step 2
To exit the table drawing mode, go to the "Insert" tab again and in the same "Table" section again click on the "Draw table" line with the left mouse button in the drop-down menu. The cursor will return to its normal appearance and you will be able to enter text.
Step 3
Another way: completely select the row you need in the table. The "Working with tables" context menu will become available in the editor. Go to the Layout tab and click one of the buttons in the Rows and Tables section. To make the new line appear above the selected one, select the "Insert Above" button. To make a new line appear below the selected one, respectively, click on the "Insert below" button.
Step 4
In this way, you can insert multiple lines at once. Select the required number of rows in the existing table, for example, three, and click on the "Insert below" button. Three new rows will be added to your table at once.
Step 5
To add a row in the tabular section of an Excel document, place the cursor in a cell and right-click on it. In the drop-down menu, select the "Insert" command, in the window that opens, put a marker opposite the "Line" item and click on the OK button.
Step 6
Alternatively, move the cursor to the left edge of the sheet. In the field with the marking of the lines, left-click on the line above which you want to add a new line. Right-click on the selected line and select the "Paste" command in the drop-down menu - a new line will appear.
Step 7
In the same way, you can add several new lines at once by highlighting the corresponding number of existing lines in the document. To insert new lines above non-contiguous lines, hold down the Ctrl key while selecting the desired lines.
