Moving Tables in Numbers

HI Jdiazh,

By default, new tables inserted in a Numbers document using the Insert menu are inserted to the right of the active and other existing tables on the active Sheet. You can move the new table from there to another location on the same sheet by selecting and dragging the circle at the intersection of the row and column reference tabs.

If your new table will be similar in structure to an existing table, you can create a new table by duplicating an existing one.

Select the original by making it active, then clicking that control circle to ensure you have selected the whole table. With the table selected, go to the Edit menu and choose Duplicate Selection (or press command- D) to create a duplicate of the selected Table.

The new table, identical to the existing one, will appear in front of the existing one, moved slightly right and down, and will be the active table when created.

You can move it to the desired location using the method described above.

In the image below, I've selected both tables to show the controls for both. The circle at upper left is the one to drag. Topmost one is for the original table, the one below is for the duplicate.

Regards,

Barry

Make a new table at a given X-Y position?

make new table with properties {name:"my table", position:[40, 40], row count:15, column count:6}

You can include additional table properties in that list. The location [X, Y] is in points .
