| Description: | Notes 6 added several enhancements to working with tables. Tabs on tabbed tables can now be placed on the bottom or on the side of the table. A new table style, caption tables, will show just one row of a table. There is also a keyboard sequence to move table rows (and list entries) up or down in the table or list. A table containing links to documents can be easily created from a view. This tip will highlight the last two new features, how to move rows in a table and how to create a table from a view. |
