Is there a video to show how to make tables. I am not looking for how to make seperate tables with the table button. Im talking about tables in the Ref Man. I cant figure out how to get the correct layout for making a table in my book. I understand how to use the table feature via the table button.

I believe ctrl+6 creates the initial row.
Ctrl+Tab to create new columns
Ctrl+(+/- key on number keypad) to adjust size of column
There may be more, but those are the ones I use most.
EDIT: Also, Ctrl+Enter to create a new line in the field instead of a new row.
EDIT 2: If you want a title row, you can keep the initial row as one column and after you create the rows below, and the number of columns you want with them, you can then resize the top row to make it go all the way across.

Ctrl-Enter is also useful in chat boxes where you want some spacing/paragraphs, bullet points, etc.

For large tables I sometimes make the first row with cells and various sizes, then copy/paste it to make the table the size I want.
