I'm trying to rework my resume. I downloaded a template that has a table inserted. What I can't seem to do is add some cells correctly or exactly where I want them. I can copy and past but the cell goes to the wrong spot. I need to add a couple of new rows and some columns.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Using MS Office? Try working without a template. You can easily insert the information you want and then move it around as needed. Hope that helps.

That's what I was thinking. Still though I would have to start all over.

Tables have always made my bellybutton burn. I prefer to just type it out.

If you work with tables & cells every day it's one thing...if you don't they are a total pain in the keester.
With any luck it will let you copy & paste the text without copying & pasting the table & cell info. Sometimes it won't.
If that's the case, just re-type the text outside of the table/cell somewhere else (close to where you want it) and then right click on the corner of the table (usually upper left hand or right hand corner) and delete/destroy the table or cell and get rid of it.
Templates can be handy if all your info fits snugly into places they had their info on the template. More often than not, it doesn't.
I like to print off templates and preserve the template layout and style and then re-do it in Word without all the fancy tables & cells.
It also never hurts to have at least three sets of eyes look at it before you do the final save & print as well as copy & paste the entire thing into an email and spell check everything. You'd be surprised what someone very close to a project will miss that others will catch quickly.
BTW: GOOD LUCK!!!!!! :aok

What version of Word?
Normally, you should be able to right mouse click in the cell and choose insert...then some combination of row or column.
If you don't see that, hold mouse over far left side until you see small black arrow. Click the mouse and that should highlight the row, then you can right mouse click to insert.
I hope that helps

Thanks folks! I just started from scratch and worked on that rascal until 4:30 this morning. It's done and I did use tables. I can't stand not knowing something especially when I tell an Employer I have advanced skills.
It looks great! Nice layout, concise, and updated to my current situation. Very pleasing to my eye. Let's hope it is to an employer. I'm really trying!
