Deleting a table column

Deleting a table column

Here we will look at how to delete a table column in a template.

Please note: By pressing ALT + F9 (for windows) or Option +F9 (for Mac), all the mail merge fields are revealed, including those hidden within IF functions. 

Deleting a table column:

1. In Settings -> Document & Email Templates
2. Download and open the template you want to make changes to - Please note in this case we have used the Purchase. 
3. Show all the field codes using Alt + F9 for Windows or Option + F9 for Mac.
4. Highlight the table column to be deleted while the field codes are shown, right-click and select Delete columns.
   
   
5. Toggle the view back to field names by clicking ALT + F9 (windows) /Option + F9. 
6. Right-click on the field name of the column that you have just deleted, then click Update Field. This will update the view to reflect the deleted column.
   
   
7. Check that your TableStart tags all have matching TableEnd tags, then save your edited template.
8. On the 'Manage Document & Email Templates' screen, upload your edited template.

Please Note: Take care when deleting columns or making any changes in the tables. Make sure that you press ALT + F9/Option + F9 if you're making any changes, changing column widths, etc. For example, if you were to make a change to this table without exposing the IF function, that change will not take place – as soon as the field is updated, the changes will disappear.
