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 Arrow down and Arrow up.

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.
