If a table cell is selected, drag the table using the Table handle in the upper left.
To constrain the movement to horizontal, vertical, or 45 degrees, hold down the Shift m

Naming Tables
Every Numbers table has a name that’s displayed in the Sheets pane and can
optionally be displayed above the table. The default table name (Table 1, Table 2, and
so forth) can be changed, hidden, and formatted.
Here are ways to work with table names:
To change the name, double-click it in the Sheets pane and type the new name. m
You can also click in the table and change its name using the Table inspector’s
Name eld.
On any sheet, two tables can’t have the same name.
To show a table’s name on the sheet canvas, click in the table and then select Name in m
the format bar or the Table inspector.
To hide the table name on the sheet, deselect Name.
To format a name displayed on the sheet canvas, select the table, click the table name m
on the sheet canvas to activate the name for formatting, and use the format bar, Fonts
window, or Text pane of the Text inspector.
