<?tbstrt>
Description
Denotes the start of a table or the start of a nested table.
To create a table in your document, click your cursor at the position in the text at which you would like the table to appear. You can then enter the table start command in one of two ways:
Insert <?tbstrt> and press Return.
 
This will only be possible if you are working in mode
.
Press Esc and type @<?tbstrt> in the edit bar.
You can then enter the contents of the first cell into the table. You do not need to specify that you want to start a row at the start of the table as PTC ALD makes this assumption when the <?tbstrt> command is entered.
Syntax
<?tbstrt>
Additional Information
If a new <?tbstrt> command is encountered within an existing table PTC ALD will start a nested table at the requested position.
