The table interaction in MS Word is, - Tab to the next cell in a row - In the last (right most) cell of a row, tab wraps down. - If no row on wrap, create a new one. - Enter puts a line break in the current cell contents.
MS Excel goes down a row on Enter. Applications like Work have the need to create a new row, since tables should only be as large as they must in text based documents. Spreadsheets are completely table based, so the need to explicitly create a new row or column is not necessary. Often a Shift Enter, Tab, or other key results in reversing the action (ex. up a row, back a cell). The mind mapping application FreeMind creates a new node to a parent on enter. This is similar to row creation, but mind maps are hierarchical tree structures . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
