Select Table Column
I have been using (and very much enjoying) Word 97 for many years. (In fact,
ten). But I am now also using Word 2003. How do I select an entire column in a table in 2003? In 97, you would hold down the Alt key and mouse-click inside the column. Now that command brings up a "Research" option! |

Select Table Column
You can still Alt+drag to column-select in ordinary text; you just have to
be careful to keep the mouse button depressed so that it doesn't register as a click. In tables, you can Shift+right-click. -- Suzanne S.

Select Table Column
Thanks. Tables is what I was looking for.
Is there a way to remap the Shift+right-click to Shift+left-click? (It's not possible in Tools=Customize as far as I can tell) Thanks "Suzanne S.

Select Table Column
Unfortunately, no. And the one I really missed at first was Alt+double-click
to select the entire table. There's no workaround for that one at all--at least not for me. You can use Alt+Num5, but since my numeric keypad is inaccessible, that's not an option for me. For users working in Print Layout view, clicking the table handle works (provided it's in view), but I usually work in Normal view, so that's no help. -- Suzanne S.
