Table Bar
The Table Bar contains functions you need when working with tables. It appears when you move the cursor into a table.
Insert Rows
Inserts one or more rows in the table, below the cursor position or selection. You can insert more than one row by opening the corresponding dialogue box (choose Table - Insert - Rows), or by selecting more than one row before clicking the icon. The second method inserts rows of the same height as the originally selected rows.

Insert Column
Inserts one or more columns into the table, to the right of the cursor position or selection. You can insert several columns at the same time by opening the corresponding dialogue box (choose Table - Insert - Columns), or by selecting several columns before clicking the icon. If the latter method is used, the columns inserted will have the same relative width as the selected columns.
