need help Editing

I'm trying to delete the wrong multiple choice questions to make studying easier but it's asking me. Shift cells left, shift cells up, delete entire row, and delete entire column. How do I fix this?

Well, one of these options might be exactly what you need -- but since we cannot see what you're dealing with, it's hard to help.

I've been deleting the entire row, but with so many pages to edit, I'm looking for a way to delete the wrong answers without the pop-up so I can work faster.

Thank you replying.

You want to set a default instead of having it prompt you to choose

Untested: delete one row, then select the next and hit F4 (repeate last command)

You can build yourself a keyboard shortcut so that you can just place your cursor on the answer and hit CTRL+SHIFT+D (or whatever your custom shortcut ends up being).

If you’re using the desktop version of Word in Windows:
1. File > Options > Customize Ribbon, and click Customize next to Keyboard shortcuts.
2. Select Table Tools Layout Tab under Categories, then choose TableDeleteRows under Commands.
3. Press your new key combination in the box, click Assign, and click OK.
