Use special characters to start a table in text, or to insert a new column.

hmtoggle_plus1Start table row

Use the start table character ¦ in text as a marker of beginning of a tabulation row. Anyhow, you have to insert it by means of the Ted4 command Text.InsSpecialChar StartTab, and not by typing on the keyboard. In the standard configuration, the script InsStartTab is assigned to the hot-key <SHIFT+Tab>.

You can also use the >starttab< tag instead of the special character ¦.

If inserting from VB or directly, use $ & chr(9).
hmtoggle_plus1Last table row

Use the character \ in text as a marker of beginning of a tabulation row. Anyhow, you have to insert it by means of the Ted4 command Text.InsSpecialChar LastStartTab, and not by typing on the keyboard. In the standard configuration, the script InsLastStartTab is assigned to the hot-key <SHIFT+CTRL+Tab>.

If inserting from VB or directly, use $ & chr(10) & chr(9).
hmtoggle_plus1Next column

The next column character » is used in text as a marker of next cell. Anyhow, you have to insert it by means of the Ted4 command Text.InsSpecialChar TabC, and not by typing on the keyboard. In the standard configuration, the script InsTab is assigned to the hot-key <CTRL+Tab>.
