INTRODUCTION

If you've inserted a table that's not quite right and want to start over, or if you've decided you don't want to use a table to arrange your text after all, follow these simple steps to delete the table from your document.

TIP

Pressing the Delete Key Doesn't Delete a Table

You might expect to be able to select a table (by opening the Table menu, choosing Select, and clicking Table) and then press the Delete key to delete it. This, however, simply removes all of the text from the table without deleting the table itself.
