Word - Clearing the Contents of a Table

Word includes a powerful table editor that you can use to create very complex tables. If you spend a lot of time working on a table and getting it just right, you may want to copy the table to a new location so you can use the same layout elsewhere. After copying, you will no doubt want to erase the contents of the table so that you can start to fill it out again.
An easy way to clear out the table is to select the entire table and then press the Delete key. The information in the table is cleared, but the table structure remains.
It is interesting to note that you must press the Delete key. If, instead, you press Backspacewhile the whole table is selected, Word deletes the entire table, not just the content of the table. (Don't ask me why; it just works that way.)
