Table Moving

To move a table, Select the table(s) that you want to move, then drag them by the edge of the table between the resizing handles.

You can nudge a selected table to move it a small amount by pressing the arrow keys on your keyboard.

If Snapping is turned on, the table will 'snap' into position to line up with other items as it is moved.
You can align tables with other items using the options on the Arrange tab.

Moving a Table to a precise location


To move a table to a precise location:

  • Select the table.
  • Click the Measurement and Locking button on the Page Status Bar at the bottom of the screen.
  • On the dialog that appears, you can set the X and Y coordinates of the top left corner of the table.

Note: You can also open the Measurement and Locking dialog by clicking 'Edit Table Measurements…' on the 'Table Layout' tab or 'Measurement…' on the 'Cells' tab.

Moving a Table between pages

You cannot drag a table from one page spread to another. To move a table, select it and use the toolbar buttons on the Edit tab or shortcut keys to cut the table (Ctrl+X) and paste (Ctrl+V) it onto the desired page.
