--- Comment #1 from Andy <[email protected]> --- With a long session of fiddlin with the table I had to format, I found an (awkward) method to select a row/colomn: - start with the mouse pointer from the first cell of the row/column, and try dragging the mouse to the second cell. - nothing happens at the moment; but if you do nothing else after this and click again on the first cell, it unespectedly becomes selected (this does not happen if you just drag the mouse from cell one to cell two: you have to stop draging, go back with the mouse pointer on the first and click on it: there it goes) - now you leave the mouse alone (don't try dragging along cells again or you selected cell goes unselected and you get nothing!), move to the keyboard and use the classic Shift+right of down arrow to complete the selection of the row or column. Finding myself in the need to edit some tables for a presentation, this workaround turned out to be VERY useful. However it is in the meantime a clear proof of how awkward selecting cells in the Impress tables is now: any average computer user would be put off in two minutes with this headache... and alas move to other software.
