Point for the table.

      To use Grips, click on a table border line. The Grips should appear. Each Grip has a specific duty, shown below. To use a Grip, click on the Grip and it will change to red. Now click and drag it to the desired location.

       Top of Column

      There is a Grip located at the top of each column line. These Grips adjust the width of the column to the left of the Grip.

      The column will change but the width of the entire Table remains unchanged.

      If you hold the CTRL key down while moving a column Grip, the entire Table adjusts at the same time.

Autofill Grip

      The AutoFill grip allows you to fill the cells automatically by increments of 1 by selecting 1 cell and dragging to the next cell.

       Make sure the cell data format is set correctly. (Refer to 5-17)

      1. Place data in a cell. (Important: Data format should be “whole number”. Refer to page 5-17)

      2. Click on the AutoFill Grip.

      3. Drag the cursor down to the desired cells.

      4. The cell data advances by 1 unit.

      If you select 2 cells AutoFill will follow the incremental advance between the 2 cells. For example, if the date advances by 1 week rather than 1 day.
