Shift+End, selects everything to the end of the line. In the case of a
single line, or the last line, of text in the cell of a table, "everything"
includes the end of cell marker, and including that marker in the selection
causes the whole cell to be selected.

I realise that it is not what you want, but that is the way it works. The
only way around it is to use the mouse to do the selecting.

Hello. If I have a line of text in a document, place the cursor in the
middle of the line, and hit shift-end, it selects the text from the
cursor to the end of the line, leaving unselected the text before the
cursor. If I do the same thing inside a table cell, it always selects
all the text in the cell which isn't what I want. Is there a way to
make it stop doing that?

Thanks,
Irwin
