How can I move a table in Paper?

How can I move a table in Paper? I would like to drag it to a new location in document, but it does not seem to let me. I tried to add a new Table between existing images, but I could not do that either.

Hey @rc2, 

Thanks for getting in touch on the Dropbox Community! 

Hmmm.... You could copy-paste the table to the new location and then delete it from where you had created it initially. 

When it comes to:

I 'd like to find a workaround, would you mind giving mne some more details on what you'd like to do, so that I look it up? 

Thanks in advance! 

Warm regards,

I think my "hangup" is the UI of Paper. It only shows menues "as needed", making it confusing what my options are. 

I assumed I could click between elements and insert an new element. I have since realized, I have to move the insert cursor at the end of preceeding element and press "return", then I can add a table or anything else.

There are things like "moving a row of photos up or down the column" that seem impossible. Instead, I seem to have to drag them individually. I'd rather be able to select the full row and drag to a new location.

It does get better with practice. I'm not so sure "Paper" is the right name though, without a "Pencil" tool. 🙂

Hi there, how to I copy an entire table if I wish to use this solution?  I would like to reorder my first and second table in a document and I can't figure out how to do this. Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi Aileen

You would just cut and paste as suggested by Jane. Or copy-paste and then delete it where it was originally.

Hi Luke!
Thanks so much for your reply. I could not cut and paste or copy and paste...I am not sure what I am doing wrong? Help 🙂 When I go to select all of my table the only option that was coming up was the trash can to delete and cut/copy/paste options were not there when I right click. I'm on a windows laptop. I'm VERY new to dropbox paper but I love it!

No problem.

There is no copy paste menu. You can just use your keyboard or browser menu (Edit menu on mine)
