Typing Content into Table Cells

To begin typing text into a cell, you only need to select a cell and begin typing. To
select text that’s already inside a cell, you must place the insertion point within the
cell. In either mode, you can navigate around the table using the arrow keys, making it
easy to quickly enter text into any cell.

Here are tips for typing in table cells:
To enter text, select a cell and begin typing.

To place the insertion point inside a cell, click once to select the table, click again to

select the cell, and click a third time to place the insertion point within the cell.
After the insertion point is inside the cell, you can select text by dragging across it or
by double-clicking to select a word or triple-clicking to select a paragraph.
To insert a paragraph break, with the insertion point inside the cell, press Return.

To insert a line break, with the insertion point inside the cell, press Option-Return.
