Is there a way to get the cursor in a cell within a table by using the keyboard keys versus having to position the cursor with the mouse?

How can you copy and paste a row in a table? "Copy" feature does not work and I have been creating a new row and manually inputting same data.

Laurie,
There are keyboard shortcuts available to you for navigating a selected row or column, but not a generally selected table. Select a row or column of your table, and then visit Format menu > Table > Select > sub-menu. I suggest that you perform a shift+cmd+4 selective screen capture on that sub-menu so you have a screen capture image handy of all the keyboard shortcuts, or use this image:
Within a Pages table, if you wish to copy and paste a row to another blank row location, first click on the source row (or column) number to select, and then copy to the clipboard. Then, select the destination row (or column) number, and just paste.
When selecting a row (or column) from a Numbers table, do as described for a Pages table for the source row (or column), and then click on the row (or column) number of the Pages table that is to be the destination, and then from the Edit menu > Paste and Match Style.

Thank you so much!! Initially it had been randomly pasting at the way top of the page but clicking on the numbers to the left of the table did the trick! It's so different than word which I have been using all of my life. Thanks again!
In Pages '09, when the selection is at the cell level a press of the Return key will put the insertion point in the cell. This might also work with your version of Pages.
Yup, return button did the trick, thank you so much!!
