After you insert a table on a page in OneNote for the web, you can select it, modify it, and format it to change the way it looks.
-
In OneNote for the web, make sure your pointer is within the table row or column you want to format. The Table Tools > Layout tab will appear.
-
Click the Layout tab to reveal the ribbon groups, and then in the Select ribbon group, click or tap what you want to select in the table to modify.
-
Do any of the following:
-
To delete rows or columns from your table, use the commands in the Delete ribbon group.
-
To add additional rows or columns to your table, use the commands in the Insert ribbon group.
-
To apply or remove table borders to parts of your table, use the commands in the Borders ribbon group.
-
To align the text within the cells of your table, use the commands in the Alignment ribbon group.
-
To apply a background color to selected cells in your table, click or tap Shading in the ribbon, and then select a shade.
-
To adjust the width of a column, hover the pointer over an edge of a column until you see the double-headed arrow, and then drag the edge.
You cannot set column widths using number values.

Tip: Commands in the Select, Insert, Delete, and Shading ribbon groups can also be applied by right-clicking within a table.
