xK, welcome to the Smart?Table Appreciation Society.
I am not a fan.
What you are asking for is a Swap with (Above, Below, Left, Right) function on a Cell to allow a nudge capability.
The best I can currently manipulate with Xara Smart Tables is Ctrl+Select all blank cells in a column touching the filled cell.
Merge then Select the merged cell and Unmerge and the filled cells' data has percolated up to the top.
here is a complex dance I can try and run you through.
For a Column
- Shift+Select all the Rows
- Merge [one cell with all text]
- Unmerge [restored cells with top one with all text]
- Select the merged Text with Ctrl+A & Ctrl+X [empty cell]
- Select the top cell
- Paste [data restored with blanks cells below]
Assumption: No linefeeds in cell data.
I leave the Row dance to yourself.
Basically, if you have text with linefeeds and a column of blank cells then Xara will paste a line into each cell until done.
So if fewer lines than cells, the text goes in from the top down.
If more, extra rows are created and new rows copy adjacent column values form the extra rows.
The copied text is treated as a single column of TSV data.
Told you I wasn't a fan.
I do, however, try to understand how a thing works and then try to develop from there; Xara never really explains.
@Xara - Regardless of how SmartTables works (or don't) the HTML Filter export really ought to form an HTML table with full ARIA compliance.
