great, especially the keyboard command  !! where do you know from?

I managed to discover it in the help text. I think I went to Help from the Columns tab of the Table Format dialogue, and then followed the link to Editing Tables Using the Keyboard. And then a few more help pages and a bit of experimentation ...

how can we improve the Help then so that you can find this information faster and without experimentation? Did you use the Index tab page of Help Viewer? Are you missing some links on the Help page that you found?

I wasn't meaning to criticise here, or to suggest that the help text was lacking - quite the reverse, in fact. My point was to answer the question I was asked - how did I know? - by pointing out (gently, I hope) that all the information was immediately available in the help text. No, I didn't need the Index tab: I got there without using it. And by experimentation I meant merely that, when I had found the relevant help text, I then familiarised myself with the techniques by trying them out. I'd do that however good the help was.
