I think I now understand the problem. You don't navigate tables the way you were trying. Instead, add control and alt to each navigation key. Thus, to move right one column press control-alt-right arrow together. To move left a column combine control, alt and left arrow. To move up or down a column, add control and alt to, respectively, up and down arrow.

An alternative method is to press JAWS key and the spacebar together, release, then press t. Now you can move through the table with the regular navigation keys, with no need of the control and alt keys.

One more thing. To add to Robin's suggestions for how to determine if you have a table and where it begins, go into quick navigation mode by pressing JAWS key+z. Now press the letter t. It will put you right at the top left of any table in the document. To edit the text, you'll need to press JAWS key+z again.

Robin:

For some aggravating reason, all of my menu keys have been acting real flaky i.e., when I press the alt key, I get a message asking me if I want to wait for the program to respond. Maybe I just need to shut it down for the weekend, and start fresh on monday.Both of your recommendations have been tried, with no success. When I do the shift F10, I hear the cut not available, then it disappears. As I said, maybe I need a reboot on Monday.
Thanks to you, Adrian, and all of the others who chimed in on this problem.
Thanks again.

Hmmm. Let's try the following two things.

Arrow down the document until you hear the indication that you are in a table. You can test this by tabbing to see if JAWS reports cell coordinates or ruler measurements across the page.

When you know you are in the table. Hit the shift F10 and arrow up a few times to the Delete cells button and press enter. In Office 2010, the menu had a "Select" submenu that allowed you to select the table then delete it, but I'm guessing Word 2013 is more like Word 2016 in that there is no select option and you are simply looking for that delete option on the context menu. As I previously noted, hitting this delete cells option will open a dialog, where you can choose to delete entire table.

If the above does not work, you can try hitting the alt key and going to the upper ribbon to use the menus. When I tried it just now, a ribbon for table
tools layout appears. When I am in the table. Focus went to that ribbon
immediately the first time .the tab for this ribbon appeared two tabs to the right of the help menu, if that's helpful

On this Table Tools layout menu, there is a delete button with a drop down menu several buttons from the left, so just tab over to it then hit space down arrow to open the menu and arrow do delete table. The reported keyboard shortcut sequence is Alt J L D T. That sequence just worked for me to delete a table.

I tried that via the shift F10 keys, but it keeps disappearing. What would be another suggestion? Thanks.

My thought is that there is still one empty row of the table in Word.
Here's what I would do. Arrow down through your document until you hear
that message again. Hit the application key and arrow down to Delete. If
it's like Office 2016, a little dialog will pop up asking what you want to
do. Arrow down to delete entire row. You may need to tab to an OK button.
The delete key only deletes text and will not delete a table in Word.

Okay. I went to the end of the sentence just before the text of the table
that was reformated in notepad, and put back in the original document. Jaws
says:

"table 18, nonuniform table. blank. Warning. Row 1 of 1, column 1 of 1. Last
cell in table. Pressing tab adds an extra row."
I am hoping that all of this is not gibberish. Thanks for the help.

I don't really understand. Once the table is no longer a table, the delete
key works as it does with any other part of a Word document. That is, one
press deletes one character, control-delete deletes one word, a selected
passage plus the delete key deletes that entire passage, etc.

I also don't understand what you mean by "row" after the table structure has
been removed. Are you saying that each line reflects a row from the former
table?

Once you remove the table structure, it can be necessary to reconstruct the
data, depending on what you want it to show.

Okay. I followed your instructions, and it worked. However, there is still a
row still in the document. I tried using your instructions, but it still
remains. I also tried the delete key, with no success. Can you tell me how
to remove that? Thanks again.

An indirect way might work more conveniently. Cut the entire table from the
document, copy it into Notepad, then recopy back to the document. It would
go something like this:

Mark the beginning of the table with Windows key+control+k.
Go to the end of the table and mark the end of the selection with JAWS
key+spacebar, release, then m.
Press control+x to cut the selected text, i.e., the table.
Open Notepad.
Press control+v. the table is now pasted to Notepad.
Select all with control+a, then cut with control+x.
Return focus to the document.
Assuming you haven't moved the cursor, press control+v to paste the
selection back into to the document. It will no longer be a table.

then you need one of the extra tabs. Try While in the table, press alt+j,
then l, then v (convert table).

Thanks. What I am attempting to do is remove tables from a document and
leave the text intact. Thanks again.

In 2013, it's insert table. Alt+n, then tab to table. Or Alt+n, then
t for a 1x1 grid that you can expand, or alt+n, then t, then i for a
creating table dialog.

Morning all. Using Windows 10, Jaws 2018 and Word 13, can anyone tell
me where I would go in the ribbons to get to the Tables tab? I have
been arrowing through all of the tabs, and cannot seem to find it. Is
there a keyboard command i.e. Alt F (File menu)? Thanks much.
