When you select the cells, make sure that the entire cell is selected and
not just the text. When the entire row is selected, the selected area should
include all white space out to the borders of the cells in the row. Then you
select Delete and you will be prompted as the book directs.

Subject: Deleting a row in a FrameMaker table
Ok, this is Monday morning and I am stuck with an operation that should be a
no brainer. I cannot find how to delete a row in a FrameMaker table.
The manual says: Select the row, click delete, select Remove Cells From
Table and click Clear. It also warns that to be offered the option to delete
the cells, the entire row must be selected.
Well, I do select the entire row and this option is never presented to me.
All I can do is erase the content of the selected cells.
Do I need to start drinking coffee in the morning or is this operation
tricky?
Please help,
