Table Insertion and Manipulation (टेबल बनाना और संपादन)

A Table is a structured grid composed of horizontal Rows (पंक्तियाँ) and vertical Columns (स्तंभ). The rectangular intersection of a single row and a single column is called a Cell (सेल).

Tables are indispensable for presenting comparative data, exam marksheets, pricing schedules, and student attendance records.

Keyboard Shortcut (CCC Exam Super Question): Ctrl + F12
Or click the Table menu $\implies$ Insert Table.
In the dialog box:
Specify the number of Columns (e.g. 4) and Rows (e.g. 5).
You can optionally name the table and choose from built-in formatting styles.

When typing inside a table:

Tab Key: Moves the cursor to the next cell on the right.
Magic Shortcut: Pressing the Tab key while inside the very last cell of the table automatically adds a brand new row at the bottom!
Shift + Tab: Moves the cursor backward to the previous cell on the left.
Arrow Keys ($\uparrow, downarrow, leftarrow, ightarrow$): Navigate freely between neighboring cells.

1
