Tab Key in Tables
Hi,
I have a question about using the Tab key in Tables. As expected in Word 2003 tables, the tab key moves the cursor to the next cell in the table. However if I want to format text in a cell to include tabs in the formatting I have to use this work around; 1.Set the tab stops as normal. 2.Instead of pressing the Tab key to insert a tab character, press ## instead. 3.Continue typing the paragraph of text. 4.Repeat 2 & 3 for each line of text (all these lines are in the same table cell). 5.Use find and replace to find ## and replace with the tab character. My question is; Is there another way to achieve this result? Can I turn off the Tab key feature (move cursor to next cell) in tables? Thanks for your help. |

No need to change the behavior of the Tab key - just use Control+Tab when in
a Table cell. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Stephen Eccleston" Stephen wrote in message ... Hi, I have a question about using the Tab key in Tables.
