Deleting a Row in a Table
To delete a row within a table, do the following:
1. | Click any cell in the row you want to delete.
|
2. | On the ribbon, above the Layout tab, click Table Tools.
|
3. | In the Delete group, click Delete Row.
|
|
To delete a row more quickly, right-click any of its
cells, click Table on the shortcut menu that appears, and then click
Delete Rows.
|
If the plural form in the Delete Rows command seems
out of place, it’s because you can use this command to delete multiple
rows at once, not just the current row. To do this, click any cell in
the first row that you want to delete, hold down the Shift key, and
then click any cell in the last row that you want to delete. When you
use the Delete Rows command, either on the ribbon or on the right-click
menu, OneNote will delete all of the rows between and including the
rows of the two cells you selected.
Using Keyboard Shortcuts to Modify Tables
When you’re comfortable with the way tables work in OneNote, learn the various keyboard shortcuts (see Table 1)
that let you create and modify tables and their cell contents. They
provide the easiest and fastest way to organize information on any page
in your notes.
