Hi all
Obviously this is one of those niggly things where there are many ways to overcome it. I tried Dan's last method in RC2 and it worked fine. Is the most satisfactory solution the one with least action? If so then select table (CTRL+A or follow-through mouse click) followed by clicking the delete row or delete column button in Table toolbar is very simple.

OOo 2.0 RC1 has a similar ability. Clicking the top left corner selects the whole table. However, more to the point, I just created a table using 2.0 RC1. I clicked inside one of the cells. Then I did the Table > Delete > Table, and the table was deleted. However, if I highlighted the the cells of the table first, Table > Delete > Table did nothing. My experience is that you should not have use Control+A before trying to delete the table. If you use Control+A, then you must use the procedure I listed in an earlier email to this thread.

If CTRL+A  is only selecting text within the table  if that is the
case if the same thing if we do in word it is working ..... Then It
should not work there ....

But when we do the same thing in other wordprocess like ms-word
there it is working fine.....
Even there also we are doing the same....

Hello Santosh
This is not really a problem.
CTRL+A is only selecting text within the table, it cannot select the

table, even though it appears to be doing so.
The DELETE key is designed primarily to delete *text*. It is a
feature

of the keyboard and not of the word-processor.
You will find this to be true in using most word-processors.
Kind regards
