Moving in tables

You can enter, edit and format text within tables in the usual manner. After inserting a new table, Presentations automatically places the text cursor in the first table cell so that you can start typing immediately.

You can also type multiple lines of text within a cell – the breaking of lines and the adjustment of row height occur automatically. Alternatively, you can press the Enter key to start a new paragraph within the cell.

To move the text cursor from one table cell to another, you can press the Tab key to move to the next cell, or Shift+Tab to move to the previous cell. To move the text cursor from row to row, use the arrow keys â and á.

You can also click in the desired cell using the mouse.

Note: As you can see, the Tab key cannot be used to insert tabs within table cells. You must use the key combination Ctrl+Tab in tables for this purpose.
