Re: How to move (via keyboard) insertion point into next table??

[Michael Richards <michaelr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's not obvious at all, so rouse yourself out of the Slough of Despond :-)

In fact it's not at all pretty sight. I'll go through the <esc> sequences, even
for stuff you know how to do as well as any of us so that the chain of <esc>apsim
is complete. (Huh?)

1) Open the Find dialogue <esc> e f. Then set it up to look for table markers.
Press
   <return> to find a table marker. This means that this button is highlighted
the next
   time you return focus to this dialogue. This is important for subsequent
steps.

2) Change the focus back to the document <esc> F i d. This is important -- you
must
   leave the find dialogue open.

3) Now you should have a table marker and its dependent table highlighted. Enter
the
   table by any of the <esc> t m .... commands. For example: <esc> t m a gives
you the
   left most cell.

4) Move around the table using Schlomo's Keyboard Command Guide. When you want to
get out
   of the table (which you have to do before you can go to the next) use <esc> t
I. You
   are now to the left of the table marker.

5) <esc> F i f gets you back into the Find dialogue with the Find button ready to
go to
   find a table marker. Press <return> once or twice or until you get to the next
table
   marker. Get into this subsequent table with an <esc> t m ..... combo.

Voila!

(It IS useful. You DO get used to it. No one said it would be elegant.)
