Academic tables
Build and keep editable tables for reuse in your library and in Word.
Build and edit the table
The table editor lets you shape content directly in PandaRef, then refine the layout and editorial details before reuse.
In practice, add or remove rows and columns as the data requires; enter or paste values into cells. Next, use cell operations such as merge or split when the structure needs them, and adjust borders and alignment. Then, use undo and redo to review recent edits. Finally, add a descriptive title, explanatory note, and source where applicable. Finally, when pasting spreadsheet data or equations, inspect the rendered cells and layout before saving.
Format and manage saved tables
Styles, alignment, borders, width, and indentation help adapt a table to its content. Saved tables can be searched, edited, and organized by project; check bulk selections before applying actions.
In practice, choose a table style and adjust the available layout options for readability. Next, review headings, numeric columns, and long values for clipping or ambiguity. Then, assign a project or keep the table in the general library, then save. Finally, find it later by title, search, list/grid view, and project filter. Finally, use the available edit, copy, move, or delete actions as appropriate.
Import content and prepare a table
The module can start from existing content and let you continue editing in PandaRef. When tabular data is pasted, row and column structure is interpreted; check how headers, blank cells, and line breaks were handled.
In practice, you can copy a table from Excel, Word, Google Sheets, Markdown, HTML, or CSV and paste it into the import flow. Next, review the number of rows and columns and correct separators, merged cells, or headers that were interpreted differently. Then, set a title and add a note or source when your discipline or style requires it; do not use the title to explain every value. Finally, save to the right project and test insertion in Word: width and page breaks depend on margins and orientation.
