The Gem Table Features Used in This Demo

 
In this demo we used the following features of the Gem Table:
  1. Table: add a 5x20 Gem Table.
  2. Refresh Table: When you edit or modify content in a Gem Table, the content may exceed the cell border boundaries.
    Use this feature to adjust the table and redraw table.
  3. Merge Cells: Merge the selected cells.
    Note: this feature only works for cells on the side, not the middle cells
 

Extra Feature:

Cell Properties: Display the cell address.
You can use this feature to determine whether the cursor is located in a cell of a Gem Table.
Due to OneNote restrictions, sometimes the cursor is located in a location that is not necessarily the cell of the Gem Table. Use this feature to determine if it is a cell of a Gem Table.
If the cursor is not located in a Gem cell, you can select the cell by ordering another Gem cell and then return back to select the cell.
