Re: Refering to specific cells within a table

Table field. I'm using version 3.5. I just downloaded the free version of 4.0 Media, but none of these have the datagrid option.

Refering to specific cells within a table

How do I refer to an individual cell in a table? For example, I want to say something like:

Code: Select all

Thanks!
