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

Michael...

Thanks for this.  Believe it or not, by myself I got through step #2, but then
thought "Gee the whole table is selected; guess I can't get there from
there."  I just did not try hard enough.

Frankly, there was also a strong sense of "this is a really stupid way to HAVE
TO do this...I must be on the wrong track."  I guess, however, that I was
going in the right direction but just did not have the necessary faith.

Thanks for your help!

Jay
