Inserting a Line Break Within the Current Table Row
If you want to create a new line of text in a table
without forcing it onto a new row in the table, you can insert a line
break into any cell. OneNote will expand the current row of cells to
make room for the new line of text.
To insert a line break within the current table row, follow these steps:
1. | In your table, click the cell where you want to insert a line break.
|
2. | On your keyboard, hold down the Shift key and then press Enter.
|
3. | Type the text you want to appear below the previous line of text in the same cell.
|
You can also use the Shift+Enter line break shortcut
to space out your table cells vertically. This can make large tables or
tables with complex data a little easier to read.
The Shift+Enter keyboard shortcut is also the only
way to manually resize table rows (other than typing more text to
expand their size) because you cannot use the mouse to modify table row
borders the way you can with column borders .
