When you first import an Excel file it will become a Table in PagePlus and you will be able to add rows. However if it is then converted into a PDF file from PagePlus, the Table will be not be retained as a table, but will become separate text frames if the PDF version is opened in PagePlus. No doubt that is what has happened.

It would be worth keeping the Excel version, modify it as necessary in Excel, and re-import into PagePlus as required. Excel handles tables (spreadsheets) rather better than PagePlus.

It is a long time ago!

I think I started with an EXCEL file then imported as a table. I am sure I was able to originally insert rows. I will have another look and might be easier to just recreate the table.

That does not appear to be a table cell that is selected, just a text frame. If it were a table cell, it would show the cell labels, numbers at left and letters at the top, as in illustration here:

What does the Hint Line tell you?

I suspect that at some time you have created a PDF version of the file, and opened that in PagePlus rather than the original. Saving that version would overwrite the original if you did not give it a new name.

Can you right-click on the table and insert rows from that menu?

Yes it is an existing table, quite a large one.

Welcome, Martin! Good to see you here.

Have you selected a Table object that you previously dragged out onto the PagePlus page? I don’t have PP in front of me right now, but I’m pretty sure that you can only add rows or columns to an existing table.

I recently got out my old copy of Pageplus Webplus X7 to update an old website of mine but it is some years since I used it but not having a great deal f success.

I need to first insert a Row but Table, Insert, Rows is greyed out.

I am sure I am overlooking something obvious, can anyone suggest anything?
