Table Shortcuts

There are several handy table shortcuts that can save you a lot of time:

  • Double click on a cell in the Table Tool, to jump to the Text Tool and start adding/editing text in the cell. 
  • When you’ve finished typing in one cell, press Tab to jump to the next cell, or Shift+Tab to move to the previous cell. When you are in the last cell of a table, pressing Tab again will automatically add a new row so you can keep extending the table. 
  • Clear the contents of all selected cells by hitting the Delete key. Delete will also clear the contents of a selected row(s)/column(s), whereas Backspace will delete the row(s)/ column(s).
  • If you are in the Table Tool with a cell selected and you press the Return key, Xara will switch to the Text Tool and place the caret at the end of the text.
  • You can set cell background colors and table background colors using the color line, as well as on the InfoBar. Select the cells, right-click on the color line and choose from the menu.
  • You can drag and drop embedded objects between cells.
