Deleting rows or columns

[Rufus]

I recently upgraded from Office XP to Office 2007 (Windows Vista), which has
Word 2007. Selecting a column (or a row) and delting it was quite simple in
Word 2002; However, I cannot figure how to do this with Word 2007. Please
help, and thank you in advance.

What are you trying, and what result are you seeing? Try selecting the row
or column and pressing the Backspace key. Yes. Backspace. When you press the
Delete key, sometimes it deletes the data rather than the table structure.
Pressing Backspace [usually] deletes the rows or columns, assuming that the
entire row/column is selected.

Another way is to click the Layout tab under Table Tools, then click
the big Delete button in the Rows & Columns group and choose the
desired action from the dropdown.
