Anyone know how to delete one cell, or a selection of cells in a Publisher table?

Hi,

As the title suggests, I am having a problem trying to delete single/selected cells from a table in Publisher - Is this possible? Can't seem to find a way to do it.

(Currently using Affinity v1)

Cheers,

Jack

No. You can delete rows or columns, but not single / selected cells. You can MERGE cells if this would be helpful. Why do you want to delete single cells? Can you please give us an example? Maybe there is another solution for your problem.

Thanks for the reply - I wanted to make an invoice template with the table containing all work info etc (across 4 columns), then a subtotal/total etc at the bottom, but only using 2 columns.

Merge won't work I don't think, as I can't seem to remove the border for only that cell - is that possible?

Otherwise, I will just have to make a separate table for the total etc and drag it into alignment with where I wanted it.

Thanks.

So I wanted to get rid of the highlighted cells...

Yes, this is possible. Have a look at the Table panel. Mark the cell before and then click one of the icons where borders can be formatted / removed.

Perfect! - Seems a strange way to get there, but I have essentially achieved what I wanted to with some fiddling!

Thanks very much for the quick replies/help!

Just to be clear. @joe_l's excellent solution is not actually removing the cells. Just their borders.

Thanks @Old Bruce, yes, that's true - for my purposed that will be fine, as they won't be visible on the page once exported 👍
