I think a better question is why are you using tables?  Nobody uses them for layouts anymore.  I don't even use them in HTML e-mails because tables are not responsive.

What would you suggest?

Switch to Design view from the document toolbar.

That makes it all scrunched up and I can't tell where to type. Plus, it doesn't work correctly anyway.

Tables are about the only thing that work correctly in Design View.

If your tables are collapsing and you can't work with them in DV, there may be errors in your code causing DW to have fits. Get a listing of any issues by running the page at:

Run the validator at http://validator.w3.org/nu

 

In any case, there's no way to arrow through table cells in DW's Live View Editor. There are quite a few functions that are still unavailable there when compared to Design View.
