Hi
I am trying to get to align some cells of tables which contain numbers with decimals using the decimal tab, but can't seem to manage it. I can use this tab to align numbers on ther sections of the document, but in the cells the tab key isn't working this way. I' ve read the tutorial, but didn't find sth helpful. (It says sth for using option+tab key in the cells, but that is used from apple for switching between applications). Every suggestion can be very helpful, espexially if someone has dealt with this problem before. (I guess it's pretty common when referring to tables with numbers!)
Thanks in regards

Re: Using tabs on a table
Within tables the tab key is used to jump from cell to cell.flike wrote:I am trying to get to align some cells of tables which contain numbers with decimals using the decimal tab, but can't seem to manage it.

[shift-tab jumps cells backwards]
To get an actual tab inside a table cell use alt-tab.

Re: Using tabs on a table
Janet is correct, Option+Tab is used for creating tabs within tables. Some keyboards mark the Option key with "Alt", for compatibility with other operating systems. The keyboard shortcut used for switching applications is Command+Tab.flike wrote:(It says sth for using option+tab key in the cells, but that is used from apple for switching between applications).
