How Do I Create a New Row in a Table

by - trainer Sandy silver contributer [93 posts] (2007 Nov 23 Fri, 14:32) Edited on 2007 Nov 23 Fri, 14:33 Reply

I am not sure how this works, when I press the ENTER key in a table to move to the next column it just widens the cell that I am in. Is there a quick way to move to the next column and also to create a new row in a table?

Yes there is a quick way.

When you have your cursor in a cell in a table and you want to move to the next cell which could be in the next column, all you need to do is press the TAB Key.

If your cursor is in the last cell of a row and you want to create a new row underneath, just press the TAB key and a new row will be created.

Word tip:

Changing case

Sometimes, you're typing along and don't realize that you have left on or accidently pressed the Caps Lock key. Or maybe you have typed a paragraph in all caps then decide you would prefer to have it in title case or lower case.

Word provides you with several ways of changing case quickly:

1. You can change case by selecting the text and going to Format-Change Case. You can then choose from a variety of different formats including uppercase, lower case, sentence case, toggle case, and title case.

2. The keyboard can be used to change case. Select the text then use Shift key + F3 (function key) to cycle through the options (lower case, sentence case and all caps).

3. Word has an AutoCorrect feature that corrects accidental use of the caps lock key for you. You can find this feature under Tools-AutoCorrect Options. The "Correct accidental use of the cAPS lOCK key" should be checked.
