Key combination

Description

Enter

Insert a line break at the current position.

First put the cursor in the first cell of the table and move it then with the cursor key to the left for inserting a new paragraph in front of an inline table. The new paragraph will then be created in front of the table by using the Enter key.

First put the cursor in the last cell of the table and move it then with the cursor key to the right for inserting a new paragraph behind an inline table. The new paragraph will then be created behind the table by using the Enter key.

If the cursor is in the last cell of the table new rows will be inserted below the current one, until the maximal number of rows defined by the template developer is achieved.
