Multiple tabs in table cell (FM 7)

Hey gang,

I've got a table that requires multiple tab stops in one table cell.  They're easy enough to place--I use the Tab Stops segment in Paragraph Designer--but I cannot move back and forth between the tabs. Each tab stop must be numbered.  For example, I inserted seven tab stops in the cell.  Is there a way to step through the tab stops without leaving the cell? 

Thanks in advance!

And Esc_Tab just inserts a new tab.

Until something more elegant is posted ...

  1. Open the Find/Change dialog.
  2. Use Esc_Tab to put a \t (tab) in the Find: Text: field.
  3. Use [ Find ] to skip from tab to tab in tables.

Anything like Shift-Tab or Ctrl-Tab or various combos like that work?

Shift+Tab moves to the previous cell; Ctrl+Tab opens the Book pane; Alt+Tab switches between programs.
