Thanks to several suggestions here, I am a total convert to tables. Except for one thing. I cannot figure out to change the "properties" of a column. The table below does some calculations on compostable trash bags. As usually happens, after I initially created the table, I learned things that caused me to change the formulas or formatting of some of the columns. But these changes are not adopted by the table. I cannot seem to change either the formatting or the formulas so that new rows will assume those properties. Do I need to delete the old columns and create new ones?
The M$FT website says to right-click the table and select Table Properties. If I do that, I do not see a Table Properties option.
In this table, I just added row 9 as a test. As you can see from the Formulas section, several cells in row 9 have completely different formulas from rows 5:8. They also have different formatting. I have repeatedly selected the first row and copied the formatting to the entire table. Doesn't help. I have done the same with the formulas, to no avail.
What do I need to do to get new rows to assume all of the "properties" (formulas and formatting) of the other rows?
