Deleting Rows

There are a number of ways you can delete rows:
1) Using the (Edit > Delete) menu.
2) Using the (Edit > Delete Cells) dialog box.
3) Using the Row shortcut menu.
4) Using the Mouse.
Deleting columns is almost identical and is discussed in step 6.


Using the (Edit > Delete) menu

If you want to delete a single row you must highlight the whole row before selecting (Edit > Delete).
