My suggestion = then (after all that "brainstorming crap") boils down to this alo= ne:

Maybe put in 1 key in table mode that puts a dummy line= in, maybe something like this:

|||||||||

--it puts in the same number of cell separators and empty = cells on empty line as are on the previous line---or you could just do:

Cu 8 | <Enter> <Tab>

And then it spreads it out/covers-down the columns--or the user then jus= t taps <Tab>

(OrgMode will then format the t= able for them)

And then the OrgMode user would type in the multi-line-= text column in the respective column-cells.

Or I s= uggest a keyboard-macro (to put in the "dummy rows") for this too= ; thats what I'll do--I'll put it in my .emacs.


Thanks Bastien and=A0Wang.
