Exit a table in Word
When putting a table in a microsoft word doc if you dont have any text below
its impossible to exit the table the only way i have found is either a. do a ctrl-enter or b. put some carriage returns in before inserting the table. So looking for is there any easier key stroke to jump out of the table and start typing text below the table? -- Thanks Scotty |

Hi Scotty,
Yes, there is an easier way to exit a table in Microsoft Word. You can simply press the "Tab" key on your keyboard when you are in the last cell of the table. This will move your cursor to the first cell of the next row, outside of the table. If you don't have any text below the table, you can

Exit a table in Word
What version of Word are you working in? Are you displaying your
non-Printing Characters (Show/Hide ¶ button) ? I've been trying to NOT get an empty line below a table and I am unable to do so in Word 2003 or Word 2007 so far. One trick I have learned is if you insert a table at the very beginning of a document and need to enter information ABOVE the table, you can hit CTRL+HOME on your keyboard and then hit ENTER and you should get a blank line ABOVE the table.

Exit a table in Word
Im using Word 2007 but i have run into this in the past in previous versions.
I am not showing printing characters. But your comment gave me an idea and i just found the answer ctrl-end will kick you out and put you right under the table. -- Thanks Scotty "finalword" wrote: What version of Word are you working in?

You can also use the right arrow key. Or just click below the table in the
empty paragraph that will be there. This is decidedly easier if you have nonprinting characters displayed. -- Suzanne S.
