In Pages '09 v4.3, Apple had a check box at the bottom of the Table Inspector that offered, “Return key moves to next cell.” This was omitted in any release of Pages v5, so you cannot press return and advance to the next cell. Worse, Apple has made the tab/shift-tab action into row-major, so the tab advances to the right across the table and then down.


The Numbers application understands that a return moves to the cell below it. Do your table work in Numbers, then copy/paste the table contents from there into Pages, if that makes you more efficient.
