Selecting a table

To select a table:

•	If nothing in the table is selected, click the table once.
•	If anything in the table is selected, click once outside the table.

When a table is selected, table selection handles appear around the edges (inline tables have only one selection handle, in the lower-right corner):

Note: When you select a table, you are selecting the table frame. Because you are selecting a frame, the drawing environment menus appear and the Table menu is not available. To apply a Table menu command to all table cells, select multiple table cells instead of selecting the table.

Selecting a single table cell

To select one cell:

•	Double-click inside the cell and choose Select Current Cell from the Table menu. (If the table frame is already selected, you can click once to enter it.)

Selecting multiple table cells

To select multiple table cells:

•	Double-click inside a cell and drag to select cells. (If the table frame is already selected, you can click once to enter it.)

Tip: To select all cells between the current selection and a nonadjacent cell (including the current selection), hold down the Shift key and click the nonadjacent cell.

To select all cells in a table:

1	Select any cell or range of cells in the table.
2	Choose Select All from the Edit menu.

Selecting table cells that are not connected

To select cells that are not connected (adjacent) to each other:

•	Select and highlight the first cell, then hold down the Command key as you click additional cells.

Selecting table cell borders

To select individual table cell borders (instead of entire lines):

1	Make sure the table frame isn't selected.
2	Hold down the Option key and click the cell border you want to select.
	To select more than one cell border, press Shift-Option while you click the cell borders.

Deselecting tables, table cells, and borders

To deselect specific cells in a multiple-cell selection:

•	Hold down the Command key and click the cells you want to deselect.

To deselect specific cell borders in a multiple-border selection:

•	Hold down the Option key and click the cell borders you want to deselect.

To deselect everything in a table:

•	Click outside the table.
