Working with Rows and Columns in Tables
You can quickly add or remove rows and columns, create header rows or columns or
footer rows, and more.
When you insert, remove, resize, hide, or show rows or columns in a table, other
objects on the page may be moved to avoid overlapping or to maintain relative object
positions. To prevent automatic movement of objects, choose Pages > Preferences and
in the General pane deselect “Automatically move objects when tables resize.”
