Delete a table using the keyboard (2000/2001/2002)
Deleting a table seems like it should be a pretty straightforward task. It is when you're using the menu bar; just place the insertion point in any cell and then choose Table | Delete | Table from the menu bar. However, deleting a table with the keyboard is a bit less intuitive. You'd think that selecting the table and then pressing the [Delete] key would get the job done. However, the [Delete] key ([del] key in Word 2001) deletes the table's contents without deleting the table itself. To delete an entire table, you must first select it by clicking on its selection icon (visible in Print Layout or Web Layout view) or by holding down the [Alt] key and then double-clicking on it. (In Word 2001, press [option][clear] or [command][option]T.) Once you've selected the table, you can then press the [Backspace] key ([delete] key in Word 2001) to delete it.
