Keystroke to jump the cursor to the next row directly

gmayor · #2 08-27-2014, 07:01 AM

If the cursor is at the start of a cell with multiple lines then as you have discovered the Down Arrow will move to the next row. The range of shortcuts for Word tables is:

TAB Next cell in a row
SHIFT+TAB Previous cell in a row
ALT+HOME First cell in a row
ALT+END Last cell in a row
ALT+PAGE UP First cell in a column
ALT+PAGE DOWN Last cell in a column
UP ARROW Previous row
DOWN ARROW Next row

You could always assign a keyboard shortcut to a macro e.g.

Code:

Sub MoveDownARow()
Dim oRng As Range
    If Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) Then
        Set oRng = Selection.Cells(1).Range
        oRng.End = oRng.End - 1
        oRng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
        oRng.Select
        Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1
    End If
End Sub
