Then hold the Shift key while you use the Down Arrow key to go to the bottom of the column. If the column is more than a few lines long, though, it's quicker to position the mouse cursor above the top cell so it turns into a black downward-pointing arrow and left-click once. This will select the entire column even if it spans more than one page. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

For some *mouse* shortcuts, see the "Selecting parts of a table" section of
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/TableBasics.htm. Unfortunately, some of these are broken in recent versions of Word. There are (AFAIK) no keyboard shortcuts for selecting parts of a table except to use the built-in Table menu, for example, Alt+A, C, C to select the current column. -- Suzanne S.

You should be able to use Alt+Page Up to go to the first cell in the
current column, and then hold Shift while pressing Alt+Page Down to select the entire column. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
