We make small usability improvements to EditLive! all the time, and today I want to highlight our latest one.  In the 6.3 release we added a long-standing request for the ability to delete multiple rows or columns (previously we only deleted the first row or column in the selection).  What might not be obvious, however, is that you don't need to highlight the entire row or column to delete it.

For example, start by highlight some cells in the middle of the table like this:

From here, clicking the Delete Row button will remove both rows:

Or if you click Delete Column instead both selected columns will be removed:

The feature works even if you have only one cell in each row or column selected, I used a 2×2 square to simplify the example.  This change replicates another behavior from Microsoft Word; helping to make table manipulation more natural and ease the training requirements for non-technical users creating content in EditLive!.
