Why can I create numbered lists or tables in KeyNote?
Numbered lists are already available in version 1.4, but please read on. The standard richedit control (which displays and “drives” the rich text editor) does not support tables. It doesn’t support many other formatting elements which MS Word has, e.g. footnotes, tables of content, even simple things like page numbers and page formatting. Word is not based on the standard richedit control, it’s a completely separate implementation. Version 3.0 of the richedit control introduced support for a few new formatting elements: numbered lists and, indeed, tables. That’s why you can paste a table from Word. However, you cannot create it inside KeyNote, because the improved richedit control (3.0) is not supported by Borland Delphi. Simply put, Delphi does not know about the added capabilities. Also, the table support is incomplete – for instance, the table cells do not resize with text and it’s not possible to add or remove rows or columns. Please also see this answer.
