Selecting Rows, Columns, and Cells
If you want to apply formatting to one or more cells, or issue a command that acts upon them such as Copy or Delete, you must first select the cells to be affected.
To select a single cell, move the insertion point into it by clicking inside the cell. Any commands you issue at that point will act on that individual cell and its contents, not on the whole table, row, or column. Drag across multiple cells to select them.
To select an entire row or column, click any cell in a current row or column, and then choose Table⇨Select Row or Table⇨Select Column. The Table menu is accessed from the Tables and Borders toolbar, not the normal menu bar. You can also select an entire row or column by dragging across it. Figure 6-9 shows a selected column.
Figure 6-9: A table with a column selected.
There are two ways to select the entire table-or rather, two senses in which the entire table can be said to be "selected:"
When all cells in the table are selected, they all appear with black backgrounds as shown in Figure 6-9, and any text formatting commands you apply at that point will affect all text in the table. To do this kind of selection, press Ctrl+A.
When the table itself is selected, its frame is selected, but the cursor is not anywhere within the table and no cells appear selected. To do this kind of selection, right-click the table and choose Select Table or click the outer border of the table. You would do this kind of selection before moving or resizing the table, for example.
If this sounds familiar, it should-it's the same as the two kinds of "selected" involved with a text box from Chapter 4.
