Continuous Versus Non-Continuous List Numbering (Web UI Only)
The Enable continuous list numbering option in the table properties specifies whether numbered lists that spanning table cells are continuous or noncontinuous.
• Assume that this option is selected. When you insert a numbered list into a table cell and then insert a numbered list into each remaining table cell, the table displays the following:
1. | 1. |
1. | 1. |
After you save the item, each subsequent numbered list you inserted is renumbered, continuing the numbering from the first list.
1. | 2. |
3. | 4. |
• Assume that you clear this option to specify non-continuous numbered lists in an existing table. After you save the item, the list is renumbered.
Key Considerations
• In the Web interface, table commands are available when you right-click a table.
• In the Web interface, adding or removing list entries from a numbered list requires renumbering the list in a table. A numbered list is renumbered with the item is submitted.
For the following specific table cell operations:
◦ Inserting cells, including rows or columns, has no impact on list numbering.
◦ Deleting cells, including rows or columns, requires list renumbering.
◦ Merging cells requires list renumbering. Lists from different cells remain individual lists after merging.
◦ Splitting cells, as if inserting cells, has no impact on list numbering.
• When selecting table elements using the mouse:
◦ Selecting the contents in a cell does not select the entire cell. However, if the selection continues into an adjacent cell, both cells are selected.
◦ Pressing CTRL and then clicking anywhere inside a table cell selects this cell (Web UI only).
In the GUI, use the mouse to select multiple table cells.
◦ Single-clicking anywhere inside a table does not select anything.
◦ Double-clicking on the first valid position in a cell or anywhere else inside the cell selects the text at the click position.
• When navigating in table cells using keyboard shortcuts:
◦ If the cursor is in the first cell, pressing TAB moves the cursor to the beginning of the second cell.
◦ If the cursor is in the second cell, pressing TAB moves the cursor to the beginning of the third cell.
◦ If the cursor is in the second cell, pressing SHIFT+TAB moves the cursor to the beginning of the first cell.
◦ If the cursor is in the last cell, pressing TAB creates a new row
◦ If the cursor is in the last cell, pressing SHIFT+TAB moves the cursor to the beginning of the second-last cell.
• In the PTC RV&S client GUI:
◦ On inserting a table, the context toolbar changes and shows commands related to table.
◦ The CTRL+X shortcut key enables you to cut content in table cells and cut table rows. However, you cannot cut table cells using this shortcut key.
◦ Selection or deletion of a single table cell is not supported.
◦ The Table context toolbar does not support cutting and pasting a column in a table.
◦ To delete a table, select the table using the mouse. Click in the rich content toolbar and then select Delete table. The CTRL+X shortcut key or the DELETE key is not supported for deletion of a table.
in the rich content toolbar and then select Delete table. The CTRL+X shortcut key or the DELETE key is not supported for deletion of a table.◦ PTC recommends to keep space or add text above and below the inserted table to easily view and use the context toolbar.
