How does one select all the text in an OOo document? Edit -> Select
All only selects the current table or table cell. Thanks.
What you describe happens if the cursor is within one of the cells
of a table. (The entire table is selected when you do this.) Had the
cursor been outside the table Edit -> Select, the entire document would
have been selected.
Now to answer your question. As you pointed out Edit -> Select
selects the current table or table cell. However, use Edit -> Select a
second time and the entire document is selected. (The first time the
entire current table is selected, and the second time the entire
document is selected.)
Using Control-A key combination twice will also do what you want.

What I've seen is that this is only true if there is at least an empty paragraph before the table.
And the multiple Ctrl-A (or Edit > Select All) also fails for me (LibO 3.3.0.5, OOo 3.1.1 on Win7)
if there is no such paragraph. My test document is a 2x2 table, a very small text paragraph outside
the table, and another 2x2 table. If the cursor is in the first table, or on the text line, the
whole first table is selected with the first and all subsequent Ctrl-As. If the cursor is in the
second table, the first Ctrl-A selects that whole table; the second, and any subsequent ones,
selects only the whole first table. When the test document is modified to have an empty paragraph
before the first table, Ctrl-A on either outside paragraph selects the whole document; with the
cursor inside either table, the first Ctrl-A selects all of that table, the second selects the whole
document.
