Adding Rows and Columns
The following rules apply when adding rows to a table:
When inserting single rows, the attributes for the new row are copied from the row containing the cursor.
If you have more than one row selected when you add new rows, the same number of rows will be inserted. The attributes for the new rows are copied from the top row of the current selection for Insert Row Above, or the bottom row of the selection for Insert Row Below.
