How to add or format tables within Item Report or other editable content fields in Resolve. This guide may be useful to report authors, responsible for creating content.

HOW TO ADD A TABLE (Skip here for EDITING AND FORMATTING TABLES)
Navigate to the report or other content field where a table is to be added, then click into the text field, which will present the editor toolbar ribbon.

Click the Table toolbar icon and then select the desired number of cells as required 

This will add your table to the position where your cursor was in the field, set to maximum page width (100%).


Click into a Table cell to start populating content, which will present the table specific toolbar options as shown below.  See following section on editing and formatting.

Example:

• Click into first cell, then left-click (hold) moving in the required direction (Up, Down, Left or Right), to highlight all required cells.  Use a ribbon button or keyboard shortcut (e.g. Ctrl + B for "bold text") to apply required formatting.  In the below example, the cells were selected from top to bottom in the column, then the Cell Background button will be used to apply cell colour.
  

• Where you have a need to change text formatting in a group of cells, using keyboard arrow keys makes it easy to highlight text for this purpose.
• Within the cell where you want to start, double-click into the middle of the cell text, which will highlight the text in full, as shown below.
  
• Hold down the [Shift] and [Ctrl] key, then ◄Left, Right►, ▲Up or Down▼ arrow keys as required, to select text in adjacent cells.  In the below example, Shift+Ctrl held, then ► tapped repeatedly to select text in the whole row.  After which, the editor ribbon Underline option was used to apply underline format to all the selected text.
  
  See brief video following, which demonstrates the above Keyboard Arrow Key method in use.
