Edit Tables

Introduction

Tables are a critical part of any CRE document — operational finances, sales comparables, market analyses, and more. In Lev Memo you can add, edit, and remove tables so data is presented cleanly to your audience.

Add a table

Slash command or Insert menu

1. Trigger the table insert

   Type /table on a slide, or click the Table icon in the Insert menu.

   The table picker opens.
2. Pick a starting size

   Choose a 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4 table from the menu.

   A new table lands on the slide at your chosen size.

By adding a new slide

1. Insert a new slide

   Click the + button below any slide to add a new slide.

   The template picker modal opens.
2. Pick a Table template

   In the template modal, select any template in the Tables section.

   A full slide is created with a ready-to-use table.

Direct copy and paste

1. Copy the source table

   Copy any table from an existing document on your computer.

   The table data is on your clipboard.
2. Paste into an empty table in Memo

   Paste the table directly into an empty table in the editor.

   The data lands in the Memo table and formatting is preserved.

Edit a table

Style table cells

1. Highlight the cells

   Navigate to the cells you want to style and highlight them.

   A cell formatting toolbar appears.
2. Adjust formatting

   Use the toolbar to change font, color, alignment, and text styling.

   The cells pick up your chosen styling.

Format rows and columns

1. Select the row or column

   Click and drag to highlight the cells you want, or click the row/column ⋯ menu at the leftmost cell of a row or topmost cell of a column.

   The row or column toolbar appears.
2. Apply styles to the whole row or column

   Use the toolbar to style the selection.

   Every cell in the row or column picks up the styling.

Add or remove rows and columns

1. Highlight the row or column

   Select the row or column you want to add to or remove.

   The row/column toolbar appears.
2. Insert or delete

   From the toolbar, choose any of:

   • Adding rows/columns — add row above/below, add column before/after, or duplicate with existing styling.
   • Deleting rows/columns — click the trash icon, or press Delete on your keyboard.

   The table updates immediately.

Handle overflow

Fix wrapping text in a table

Text line wrapping within a table may elongate it and cause overflow. Adjusting column widths often resolves the issue.

1. Find the wrapping column

   Locate the column where a cell has multiple lines of text.

   You've identified the column that's too narrow.
2. Resize the column

   Use the column's ⋯ menu and choose Autosize column, or click the right border of the column and drag it to adjust manually.

   The text fits on one line and the table no longer overflows.

Fix too many rows in a table

Sometimes a table is too dense and every row is critical. You can delete extra rows or split rows across a new slide.

Delete rows

Select the rows you want to delete and click the trash icon in the row's menu.

Copy rows to a new slide

1. Select rows to move

   Select the rows you want to copy.

   The rows are highlighted.
2. Cut them

   Press Ctrl+X (PC) or Cmd+X (Mac).

   The rows are on your clipboard.
3. Add a new slide

   Add a new slide using the "+" icon below any slide.

   A new empty slide is ready to receive the rows.
4. Paste

   Paste the rows onto the new slide.

   The rows land on the new slide, keeping their formatting.
