Hello All,
It must be because its Friday, but I cannot for the life of me remember how
to add a row within an autonumbered table from the keyboard. Can anyone
help? TIA.

You can add a row to any table as follows:

1. To add a row at the end of the table, press Tab in the last cell.

2. To add a row in the middle of the table, press Right Arrow in the last
cell in the row above where you want to add the row (this puts the insertion
point outside the table but left of the end-of-row marker) and press Enter.

Yes, I know how to add a new row, but what I need is for the new row to be
numbered as the other rows are; the method you suggest does not carry the
numbering through. This is what it looks like:
Req #

7.3.0

7.3.1

7.3.2


So, I want to be able to add a row between 7.3.1 and 7.3.2 and have the
numbering adjusted accordingly. Someone else has created the table and are
no longer around...and as I said, I used to know how to do this but it has
totally escaped me. Any other ideas? Thanks.

If this is really auto numbering, it will be continued properly. Press
Alt+F9 to see if the numbering is created using fields (SEQ, LISTNUM, etc.).
If so, you'll have to copy/paste the field into the new row and then
manually update the numbering with F9.
