 * Hi,
    I’ve just created my first table (imported from Excel) & added it to a page
   via the short code – all simple and straightforward. What I can’t figure out 
   is how to (manually) add data to the table! (I think the heat’s getting to me).
   I’m sure this has been asked before but I can’t find it.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * When you view the “List of Tables”, just click on the desired table’s name to
   get to its “Edit” screen.
    You will be taken to a screen like [https://ps.w.org/tablepress/assets/screenshot-2.png?rev=1064192](https://ps.w.org/tablepress/assets/screenshot-2.png?rev=1064192)
   where you can enter/modify the table data. If “Table Content” only appears as
   a narrow bar, click on it to reveal the input fields.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi Tobias,
 * I can do that OK but when the table is inserted into a page or form I can’t –
   it’s non-editable.
    (This will eventually be an order form and I’m trying to 
   get users to enter a quantity in either of two columns). I hope this makes sense!

 * Hi,
 * ah, I see. Unfortunately, I’ll have to disappoint you here. TablePress does not
   have such frontend editing capabilities. Tables can not be added by a site visitor,
   like a form.
