I haven't used tables much so please forgive me if this is a dumb question.
I thought if I typed the following:
|this|is|a|test|
|will tables work?|
and I pressed the enter key with the cursor at the end of the second
line, the tables would reformat. This doesn't seem to be working
anymore for me. If I press the <TAB> key that reformats.
I am using GNU Emacs 23.1.1on Windows with org version 6.33f.
I also noticed that if I type |- at the beginning of a line and then
hit return, it remains |-. If I press <TAB>, it works correctly.
First of all, am I correct that return should reformat. If so, what
should I check to try to fix this.
Thanks,
Dave

I don't think so. I don't recall tables ever functioning that way.
Did they behave this way earlier?

May be you can rebind org-cycle to another key if TAB is inconvenient,
say C-j or something? But I guess that is not what you need.

The table will reformat if you press the enter key at the end of the
line (after "work?") without typing the closing bar "|".
Pressing enter *inside* any cell will reformat the table and move down
to the next cell, but not if you're outside of the grid.
Also, C-c C-c anywhere within the table block (even if outside of the
grid, as in your example) will reformat, keeping the cursor in its
current position.

This is a special exception with the ENTER key. At the end
of a line in a table it always makes a new line, because this
is pretty much the only way to split a table into two, for example.
Manish and Chris have already explained everything else.
