Thanks for the video Gary. I have a question regarding setting tables. I have a table of 160 rows set up in text edit and want to add more rows but cannot find a way to do it. Can you help or is there a maximum number of rows that can be used? Thanks
Mike
Maybe you are working on a Plain Text document? Use Format, Make Rich Text.

That's odd, I can't get more than 25 rows in my tables, no matter what I do. Instead I have to create multiple 25 row sets and manually line each one up if any changes are made. It's a real tedious task. This doesn't make sense to me as to why I can't create 180 rows in a table. Anyone know if there is a way?

Is there a way to insert a row, like in an alphabetized list? And to delete a row from the list without a gap, or do I have to go back to Microsoft Word for these delicate functions?

Select something in the table. Choose Format, Table. This brings up an inspector window. Change the number of rows there.
Thanks Gary, worked a treat!

For a table? It is tough -- probably best to use a tool like Word (or Pages, or Numbers) for something like that.
Hi Gary, how do i write 10 to the power of 7 on text edit???
Type 107. Select the 7, change it to a smaller font size. Then, with it still selected, choose Font, Format, Baseline, Superscript.
