But then next day the plus-sign is back and working again. Even closing it and re-opening it doesn’t seem to make a difference and I have to use right-click and “Insert Row” from the drop-down menu. If I load it and don’t get the plus-sign I know I’m done for that session. I am talking here about a document which I update once or twice a week, usually to add rows. The problem I am having in Word 2016 is sometimes I load a document and that plus sign appears, and sometimes I load the same document and however much hovering I do, I can’t get the plus-sign to appear. In Word 2013 if you hover near the left-hand edge of a table by the dividing line between two rows a plus-sign appears, and if you click it a blank row is inserted. In Word 2010 you had to right click on a row in your table and a drop-down menu appeared from which you chose “Insert Row”, with a choice of “Above” or “Below”. Word 2013 made it quicker to add rows to tables. Clear the Show Pop-Up Buttons for Adding Rows and Columns in Tables checkbox.The Display section of the Advanced options of the Word Options dialog box. Scroll down, if necessary, to navigate to the Display section.At the left side of the dialog box, click Advanced.Display the File tab of the ribbon and then click Options.) It is possible to turn off this tool if you find this feature too distracting by following these steps:
The Insert Column tool can be very picky when it comes to mouse pointer location. (Or double-checking before actually clicking.) It is, for instance, possible to still be pointing inside the tool's plus sign and have the mouse pointer change to show you are going to select a column or row. The addition of the tools did complicate some traditional table operations (as in the width and height changes), which means that a user now has to be a little more careful in watching where they click. For instance, you may be trying to change the width of columns or height of rows by dragging the dividing lines, but if you click at the wrong time you end up actually adding an unwanted column or row. For some people-like Gary-the tool is a bother, as it can be a bit confusing where to actually click to get the results you want. If you click on the plus sign, then Word dutifully adds either a column or row, as appropriate for the tool.
You can see the tools when, as Gary said, you move the mouse pointer above a column divider or to the left of a row divider.
The Insert Column and Insert Row tools first made their appearance in Word 2013. Gary finds this feature to be distracting and more trouble than it is worth, so he wonders if it is possible to turn it off. Gary notes that as he works in a table and moves the mouse pointer above a line dividing two columns or to the left of a line separating two rows, he sees a "circled plus sign" appear, indicating that he can click to insert a column or row.
