How to delete columns and rows in a table in Microsoft word?

According to your question it seems that you are very new to Microsoft word.

Anyway it is easily can delete any rows or columns in Microsoft word. I will explain it through an example.

Please see the below image.

Select rows and right click on those. And click on delete cells.

In the next window tick on the “delete entire row”.

Then those two rows will have been deleted.

In the same way you can . Select columns that you want to delete and right click and click on the delete columns. Then the selected columns will have been deleted.
