Tables
Last updated 6/13/2015
Move within a table using Tab
• Press Tab to move to the next cell. If you press Tab in the last table cell, a new row is created. For information on
inserting tabs and indents in a table, see Format text within a table .
• Press Shift+Tab to move to the previous cell. If you press Shift+Tab in the first table cell, the insertion point moves
to the last table cell.
The first cell, last cell, previous cell, and next cell differ depending on the writing direction of the story. For horizontal
writing, the first cell is in the upper left corner, the last cell is in the lower right, the previous cell is the cell to the left (the
previous cell of a cell on the left edge is the rightmost cell on the row above), and the next cell is the cell to the right (the next
cell of a cell on the right edge is the leftmost cell on the row below). For vertical writing, the first cell is in the upper right
corner, the last cell is in the lower left, the previous cell is the cell above (the previous cell of a cell on the upper edge is the
bottom cell of the row on the right), and the next cell is the cell below (the next cell of a cell on the lower edge is the top cell
of the row on the left).
Move within a table using arrow keys
1 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.
2 If you press the Down Arrow key when the insertion point is at the end of the last cell in a row in a vertical table, the
insertion point moves to the beginning of the first cell in the same row. Similarly, if you press the Left Arrow key
when the insertion point is at the end of the last cell in a column in a vertical table, 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.
