Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Where can I find the eraser feature if I can't locate it?
- Solution: You need to select the table first; then you can see the eraser button in the Table Style tab. If no table is selected, the related features will not be displayed.
Q2: How to recover a table border that was deleted by mistake?
- Solution: Use Ctrl+Z to undo the operation and restore the mistakenly deleted border. Alternatively, use the "Draw Table" or "Borders" feature to redraw the deleted line.
Q3: How to merge cells after deleting borders with the eraser?
- Solution: Deleting borders with the eraser has the same effect as merging cells. Deleting the border between adjacent cells achieves cell merging.
Notes
- The eraser can delete internal table borders; for outer borders, it can only erase the border lines
- Adjacent cells will automatically merge after borders are deleted
- You must exit eraser mode before performing other operations
