Default Keyboard shortcuts to move insertion point within a table?

Are there any keyboard shortcuts for moving around in a table?

I'm familiar with Tab and Shift-Tab. But is there anything beyond that, for
example, to move to the start of the next row or previous row, or to move to
the beginning of the current row, or to move to the cell immediately below or
above?

Thanks.

Thanks. That gives me part of what I'm looking for - move to first or last
cell in current row.

It suggests up and down arrow to move to previous row or next row. However,
that only works when the cell is empty. If the cell contais text, the up/down
arrow keys simply move through the text one line at a time as usual. What I'm
looking for is a keyboard shortcut that jumps to the beginning of the text of
the cell above or below.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Eric,

that only works when the cell is empty. If the cell contais text, the up/down

You'd probably need a macro for this, and assign it to a keyboard shortcut of
your choice.
