This seems like it should be so basic, but it apparently isn't very intuitive.
The scenario: (1) I've inserted a table into a new blank MS-Word document. (2) I want to add some text outside and above the table.
Problem:
The table is butted right up against the top of the document and I can't move the cursor to a point before the table to insert any new text.
I've found that you can do this by cutting the table to the clipboard, type the new text and paste the table back, but there just has to be a more straightforward way to put the cursor at a point before a table that is at the top of a document.
1Thank you Ctrl+Shift+Enter worked with me....20 years or more never though there is a fix for that :D and now just decided to Google it... – Bishoy Hanna – 2016-04-26T01:36:31.187
Doesn't work, that puts the cursor in the top left cell of the table. – JohnFx – 2010-08-12T16:43:10.523
7Correction, that DOES work, it just doesn't look like it. The cursor appears inside the fist/top cell, but hitting enter does indeed put the new-line outside of the table. – JohnFx – 2010-08-12T16:44:28.513
Glad to hear it helped! – JNK – 2010-08-12T16:52:49.400
absolutely stunning! +1. I hope Microsoft would add a special marker for such locations when "flipped-P" is switched on – Dinesh – 2017-10-04T23:53:08.617
