Selecting cells

You can select a single cell, a line or block of cells, or nonadjacent cells. To select entire rows or columns, see Selecting rows or columns.

To select a single cell, do one of the following:

• Click in the cell, then select the <td> tag in the tag selector at the lower-left corner of the Document window.
• Control-click (Windows) or Command-click (Macintosh) in the cell.
• Click in the cell, then select Edit > Select All.

  TIP

  Select Edit > Select All again when a cell is selected to select the entire table.

To select a line or a rectangular block of cells, do one of the following:

• Drag from a cell to another cell.
• Click in one cell, Control-click (Windows) or Command-click (Macintosh) in the same cell to select it, then Shift-click another cell.

  All of the cells within the linear or rectangular region defined by the two cells are selected.

  

To select nonadjacent cells:

• Control-click (Windows) or Command-click (Macintosh) the cells, rows, or columns you want to select.

  If each cell, row, or column you Control-click or Command-click isn’t already selected, it’s added to the selection. If it is already selected, it’s removed from the selection.
