Moving a column or a row in a Table

The key to the moving is in where you hold the column or row once it as been selected. The one thing that you cannot do is hold down the mouse key and drag. All that does is to extend your selection.

However, if you select the row or column and then Release The Mouse Button. You can move into the selected cells with the mouse pointer to drag and drop.

In moving a column, place the pointer over any cell in the column then click, hold & drag left or right. You will not see the data moving only the cursor moving which indicates how far you’ve gone. When you release the mouse button, you will find your entire column is now to the left of the column just where you stopped the drag process.

To move an entire row, start by selecting it from the left margin, next to the table. With the row selected, click and hold the mouse button somewhere within the leftmost cell. Then you can drag it up or down. When you release the mouse button, the entire row will be relocated.

(Be sure to use the leftmost cell ) or you will have a real mess

So now row 4 which should be row 2 can be edited with ease as can column 5 be moved to column 10.
