Tables are a very important way of presenting information and data within Articles. The following describes how to modify the basic elements of tables within an Article. For more information about inserting a table in an article please read: [[Inserting a table into an Article]].

#Open the Article for editing either by:
#* Click the '''Content > Article Manager''' menu item to go to the ''Article Manager'', select the Article and click the ''Edit'' toolbar button.
#* Clicking the ''Add New Article'' button in the Control Panel.
#* If logged in to the Front-end, you have appropriate permissions and are viewing the Article you wish to edit: Click the ''Edit'' toolbar button. 
#Locate the table you wish to modify and follow the instructions below as required.

'''Insert a new row'''
*Select a cell in a row above or below where you wish to insert a new row.
*Click the ''Insert row before'' or ''Insert row after'' editor toolbar button.

'''Delete a row'''
*Select a cell in the row you wish to delete.
*Click the ''Delete row'' editor toolbar button.

'''Insert a new column'''
*Select a cell in a column adjacent to where you wish to create a new column.
*Click the ''Insert column before'' or ''Insert column after'' editor toolbar button.

'''Delete a column'''
*Select a cell in the column you wish to delete.
*Click the ''Remove column'' editor toolbar button.

'''Merge a range of cells'''
*Click and highlight a range of cells you wish to merge. This can be done vertically or horizontally.
*Click the ''Merge table cells'' editor toolbar button.
'''Split merged cells'''
*You may only split previously merged cells. This is different from most word processing applications and is because of the structure of HTML tables.
*Click the cell you wish to split.
*Click the ''Split merged table cells'' editor toolbar button.
Note: When a cell is split it will return to the format it was in before being merged. For example: a 3 row, 3 column table contains a merged cell spanning 3 columns, when this merged cell is split it will return to 3 cells.
