Note: It is acceptable to have a table containing a column of blank data cells, as long as there is a data header cell. Next, use the various borders and shading controls in the Table Tools Tab, Design Sub-Tab to re-do the desired visual formatting. In the Table Tools Tab, in the Layout Sub-Tab, in the Rows & Columns Group, select Delete. The new style can then be reapplied after inspecting the table for blank rows or columns.įirst, delete blank columns or rows: Place the cursor in the column or row to be deleted. Rendering of tables with high fidelity is also. You are able to freely edit, change, add and remove tables. Tables in Aspose.Words are fully supported.

These are concepts which are common to all tables in general whether they come from a Microsoft Word document or an HTML document. Alternatively, prior to clearing table formatting, any desired formatting for a table can be saved as a 'New Table Style' in the drop-down list described above. A table is comprised of elements such as Cell, Row and Column.

Note: After inspecting the table, formatting can be reapplied by selecting the 'Undo' control. To clear formatting for the table, in the Table Tools Tab, in the Design Sub-Tab, in the Table Styles Group, select the More (drop-down) icon, and then select Clear from the bottom of the drop-down. To view Table Gridlines, place the cursor anywhere in the table, then in the Table Tools Tab, in the Layout Sub-Tab, in the Table Group, select View Gridlines. Viewing the table with gridlines showing and formatting cleared will visually reveal blank rows or columns: After removal, the desired visual formatting can be applied with table border controls. Blank rows or columns need to be identified and then removed. These blank rows or columns contain no data, and therefore cannot be associated with any header cells. If it isn’t, click on it to activate it.Note: If a data table row or column is blank, it is usually set that way for visual formatting purposes (e.g., to make a thick, bold border between rows). To do this, make sure the “Home” tab is active on the ribbon. You can also set up Word to automatically collapse certain heading levels by default. Then, select “Collapse All Headings” from the submenu to collapse all the headings in your document, or “Expand All Headings” to expand all the headings again. To do this, right-click on any heading and move your mouse over “Expand/Collapse” on the popup menu. Word provides a quick way to collapse or expand all headings at once. When we collapsed “Subheading A,” which is a Heading 2, it collapses the content up to “Section 2” because that heading level is greater than “Subheading A.” However, when we collapsed “Section 1,” “Subheading A” and the content below it was collapsed as well because it is a lesser heading level than “Section 1.” Notice in the image below that all the content below “Section 1” is collapsed up to “Section 2” because “Section 2” is the at same heading level (Heading 1) as “Section 1.” NOTE: When you collapse a heading, only the content up to the next heading of equal or lesser value is collapsed.
