Delete table rows

[Eddy-2]

In PagePlus, I have a table with more rows than enough.  I select the surplus rows, press Delete on the keyboard and they disappear.

When I do the same in Publisher, nothing happens.

Why?

Hi Eddy-2

We've changed the way tables work in Affinity, when using Delete or Backspace with cells selected this will always default to controlling the cells contents, meaning it will delete and characters in the cell, rather than deleting them.

If you want to remove any cells from your table you'll need to either right-click on the row/column and select Delete or alternatively use the double arrows at the end of the row/column to add or remove cells by dragging these, or clicking them and typing your value in the context box that shows. See my quick screen recording below to see this in action!

Thanks Dan.

The Help file does show the double-arrow method but I obviously missed it.

I need to take the sunglasses off.

Select it with the Move tool (the arrow).
