Problem with tables

Problem with tables

[Gaspaio]

Hello everybody,

I'm a newbie at org-mode (and emacs BTW), and i can't seem to use a few commands like table-delete-row, table-insert-row and so on. I systematically get a "Table not found" error.
Also, some of the Shift commands don't seem to work, like using S-UP/Down to navigate between headers. I tried toggle the org-support-shift-select, but nothing.

I'm using emacs.app v23.2 (OSX), with org-mode v7.2

Any ideas ?

Thanks.
Gaspaio

Be aware of the two table formats:

table-delete-row, table-insert-row are for tables in the "table.el" format like
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
|                    User Visible Entry Points                     |
+-------------------------------+----------------------------------+
|           Function            |           Description            |
+-------------------------------+----------------------------------+

S-Up/Down are only for tables on the orgtbl format like
| x | y |
|---+---|
| 1 | 2 |
| 3 | 4 |

Thanks for the quick reply, 
but it doesn't work either, "M-x table-delete-row" from inside the table still outputs the Table not found error.
What's weird is that other commands seems to work, like tabbing from cell to cell, etc.

Ok, this works. If i use table-insert, then table-delete-row works. Cool, thanks a lot.

But, the :

Still don't seem to work. I toggled org-support-shift-select on and off but nothing. When i do S-UP/DOWN i get the normal emacs region expanding behavior, of, if i deactivate org-support-shift-select i get a cursor movement.
That said, M-x org-table-delete-column does work. 

I gess its a binding problem …

For Org tables it is either M-Up/Down/Left/Right to move or
S-M-Up/Down/Left/Right to delete/insert.

Org mode supports two kinds of tables.

It has its own, built-in version.  And you can have tables made with
the table.el package.  Any commands starting with table- can deal
only with the table.el stuff.
