Selecting multiple lines in Word table

[Weezie62]

I am working with a user who has Office 97. She inserted a table into a Word document, and now wants to select multiple lines of that table to make some editing changes. Normally in Word, you can hold down the Ctrl key and select multiple lines. However, holding down Ctrl while selecting multiple lines in a Word table causes the entire table to be selected.

Are there any options that needs to be changed, or some way around this, so that you can select multiple lines in a Word table? Or is that just the way it is?

Thanks for your help!

Weezie62,

Doesn't look like there's an easy way to do that. You might try writing a macro that tests each cell for certain criteria before it formats it. See article "WD2000: Macro Example for Formatting Table Cells That Contain Text (Q251015)" in the Microsoft Knowledge Base for an example. Hope this helps.
