Tables
Last updated 6/6/2015
Move within a table using arrow keys
Press the arrow keys to navigate within and between table cells. If you press the Right Arrow key when the insertion
point is at the end of the last cell in a row, the insertion point moves to the beginning of the first cell in the same row.
Similarly, if you press the Down Arrow key when the insertion point is at the end of the last cell in a column, the
insertion point moves to the beginning of the first cell in the same column.
Jump to a specific row in a table
1 Choose Table > Go To Row.
2 Do any of the following:
• Specify the row number you want to jump to, and then click OK.
• If a header or footer row is defined in the current table, choose Header or Footer from the menu, and then click
OK.
Cut, copy, and paste table contents
When text is selected within a cell, cutting, copying, and pasting actions are the same as for text selected outside a table.
You can also cut, copy, and paste cells and their contents. If the insertion point is in a table when you paste, multiple
pasted cells appear as a table within a table. You can also move or copy the entire table.
1 Select the cells you want to cut or copy, and then choose Edit > Cut or Copy.
2 Do any of the following:
• To embed a table within a table, place the insertion point in the cell where you want the table to appear, and then
choose Edit > Paste.
• To replace existing cells, select one or more cells in the table—making sure that there are sufficient cells below
and to the right of the selected cell—and then choose Edit > Paste.
Move or copy a table
1 To select the entire table, place the insertion point in the table and choose Table > Select > Table.
2 Choose Edit > Cut or Copy, move the insertion point where you want the table to appear, and then choose Edit >
Paste.
Convert tables to text
1 Using the Type tool , place the insertion point inside the table, or select text in the table.
2 Choose Table > Convert Table To Text.
3 For both Column Separator and Row Separator, specify the separators you want to use.
For best results, use a different separator for columns and rows, such as tabs for columns and paragraphs for rows.
4 Click OK.
When you convert a table to text, the table lines are removed and the separator you specify is inserted at the end of each
row and column.
