Open a document, then do one of the following:
Place the table within the text: Click in the text where you want the table to appear. The table is aligned according to the alignment of the paragraph where you added it. If the paragraph is aligned to the left, for example, you can’t center the table.
Place the table so it can be moved freely: Click somewhere other than text so there is no text insertion point. When the table is added, by default it is set to Stay on Page (instead of Move with Text) so that you can position it wherever you like.
Click in its top-left corner.
Note: If the table doesn’t move freely, it might be set to move with the text as you type. To change this setting, click the table, click Shift-drag the white square in the bottom-right corner to resize the table proportionally.
Change the alternating row color setting: Click the table; in the Format select the cells with the data you want to use to create the new table.
Click and hold the selection until it appears to lift, then drag it to another place in the document.
To delete the empty cells from the original table, select the empty cells, word-processing documents. If your table is being cut off and you’re working in a word-processing document, Add and edit cell content in Pages on MacUse table styles in Pages on Mac
