Software Tips & Tricks Shortcuts in FrontPage

By Laura Noble

Moving Up or Down from a FrontPage Table

There are strategies to move your insertion point directly outside of a table when tables are beneath each other.

It can be difficult to move the insertion point below a table with text, as shown in the sample below. Pressing the Enter key will enlarge the current table's height and pressing the Tab key will add another row to the table.

Both options work if that is the required result, but if you want a new table below the current table (may be because of different table property requirements) then moving the insertion below the existing table can be frustrating. But there is a solution! Read below!

Insert Space Between Tables:

1. Move the insertion point to the end of the last entry of text in the last cell of the table (last column, last row).

2. Press Ctrl + Enter.

Insert Space Above a Table:

1. Move the insertion point before the first entry of text (first cell of table).

2. Press Ctrl + Enter.
