Dear Access-Indians,

 

Here is a bit of information on using Tables in MS Word using Dolphin
SuperNova from the online Dolphin tips and tutorials.


Working with Tables in MS Word using Dolphin SuperNova


You can use tables to lay out important information in a grid style
including financial data, sales data and other such data. After you create a
table, SuperNova and Word includes useful keyboard commands to help you
structure, sort and read the table.


Insert a table


Word offers a number of different methods to insert a table. One popular
approach is to use a grid to define the table dimensions.

To do this:

.         Go to the place where you want to insert a table.

.         Press ALT + N. The "Insert" tab opens.

.         CONTROL + RIGHT ARROW to the "Table" group. The first item in this
group is "Table".

.         Press SPACEBAR to open the "Table" options. The first option is a
grid that allows you to select the number of columns and rows for your
table.

.         Use the Arrow Keys to choose the dimensions of your table and
press ENTER to confirm your selection. Word closes the grid and adds the
table into the document.

Other methods to insert a table include to choose a table from the "Quick
Table" list or to use the "Insert table" dialog box. You will find both
these items listed in the "Table" options in the Ribbon. Note that you must
press SHIFT + TAB to move from the grid to the menu items because TAB moves
you through the grid.


Insert a cell, column or row


You can easily change the dimensions of your table while you work, without
the need to go back to the Ribbon.

To do this:

.         Go to the position in the table where you want to insert a new
cell, column or row.

.         Press SHIFT + F10. A context menu opens.

.         DOWN ARROW to "Insert" and RIGHT ARROW to open the sub-menu.

.         Use the Arrow Keys to select an item and press ENTER. Word closes
the menu and changes the table dimensions.

Note: Word will also insert a new row automatically if you press TAB in the
last cell of the table. To prevent new rows being added, you must use the
Arrow Keys to exit the table.


Navigate a table using the keyboard


You can navigate a table using Word keyboard commands. You can enhance this
further with additional SuperNova keyboard commands.

The following list states the main keyboard commands available.

.         Go to next line in the cell (if the cell does not contain
additional lines then focus will move to the cell below), press DOWN ARROW.

.         Go to previous line in the cell (if the cell does not contain
additional lines then focus will move to the cell above), press UP ARROW.

.         Go to the next cell (the cell content will be selected), press
TAB.

.         Go to the previous cell (the cell content will be selected), press
SHIFT + TAB.

.         Go to the first cell in the column, press ALT + PAGE UP.

.         Go to the last cell in a column, press ALT + PAGE DOWN.

.         Go to the first cell in a row, press ALT + HOME.

.         Go to the last cell in a row, press ALT + END.

.         Go to the cell above, press LEFT CONTROL + ALT + UP ARROW.

.         Go to the cell below, press LEFT CONTROL + ALT + DOWN ARROW.

.         Go to the cell right, press LEFT CONTROL + ALT + RIGHT ARROW.

.         Go to the cell left, press LEFT CONTROL + ALT + LEFT ARROW.


Move the row content up or down


Using a keyboard command, you can move the content of a row in a table
upwards or downwards.

To do this:

.         Go to the row in the table that you want to move.

.         Press:

o   ALT + SHIFT + UP ARROW to move the current row up.

o   ALT + SHIFT + DOWN ARROW to move the current row down.


Read the content of a table


SuperNova will automatically read aloud the lines and cells as you move
through a table. SuperNova also contains some hot keys to read different
areas of a table.

.         Function              Desktop - Default NumPad Set  Laptop -

.         Read column     CAPS LOCK + NUMPAD 6               CAPS LOCK +

LOCK + SHIFT + PAGE DOWN

.         Read column to current cell        CAPS LOCK + NUMPAD 3

CAPS LOCK + SHIFT + END

.         Read row to current cell               CAPS LOCK + NUMPAD 1
CAPS LOCK + SHIFT + HOME


Go to the next or previous table in a document


One way to quickly move to the next table or previous table in a document is
to use the SuperNova Quick Navigation Keys.

.         To go to the next table in a document, press CAPS LOCK + T.

.         To go to the previous table in a document, press SHIFT + CAPS LOCK
+ T.

Note: SuperNova will say "table not found" if SuperNova is unable to find a
table in the direction you are searching.
