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.
