Removing a table from Google Docs is similar to editing the table, and it can be done in two steps: However, you should be sure about removing the table before you proceed to delete it. It is not uncommon that you might need to remove the whole table from Google Docs. Select the Delete Row or Delete Column option depending upon whether you want to delete a row or column. Select a cell in the row or column you want to delete and right-click to open the context menu. Choose between Insert Row Above, Insert Row Below or Insert Column Left, Insert Column Right to add a row/column in your desired location.ĭeleting rows/columns in a table: If you have extra rows/columns in your Google Docs table that you want to delete from the table, you can do that in these simple steps: Select a cell in your table and right-click to open the context menu. Here is how you can perform these common edits to your Google Docs table:Īdding rows/columns to a table: Adding rows and columns to an existing Google Docs table is simple. If you have an existing table in your Google Docs that needs to be modified, you can easily do that by adding rows/columns to it or deleting them. Make your selection as needed.Īfter completing these steps, you will have a table in your Google Docs in the location you selected at the start of the process. Once you click on Table, you will be provided with the option to choose the number of rows and columns you want to add to the document. Now click on the Insert button at the top and select Table from the drop-down menu. Or is there a possibility to search for a keyword in the doc and get it's childIndex via script? But this is not reliable enough for me, because if the template changes (and it will change!) I have to find the right index again and change the script. OK, it places the table on line 5 in this case, tried also many other indexes and was able to come to the position I want it to be. With the insertTable(childIndex, table) I was able to insert the table only at the beginning or the end of the document. SetNumberFormat() worked for me only on a spreadsheet, but I have to format the table in Google Docs document. Hey J.G., maybe the problem wasn't explained well enough or I am not smart enough to handle the solutions you proposed: You can see the calculation sheet here and the template here. My script is bound to the Google Sheet document, where I start the script from a custom menu. once created the new document from the template I would like to open it directly in the browser.the script uses "body.appendTable(values)" to insert table data at the end of the document, but how can I determine where in the document I want to place the table?.in the Google Docs table all the cells are left aligned, I need to right align the columns with Euro values.all the cell values are copied as text, so in the Google Docs table I have to reformat some values in Euro.The copying works great, but I still have a few problems: I use (literally exactly) the first sample script, without taking care of column width, as this is not an issue for me. For this I use the solution found here in this question: Using Google Apps Script to Copy from Google Sheets Data Table to Google Documents Table. With Google Sheets I created a calculation table which I want to copy to a quote template in Google Docs with Google Apps Script.
