We're probably so used to tables that we have forgotten how timeconsuming it used to be on a typewriter to outline a text into a tabular way. Sometimes people still use the top ruler to outline a text in columns and in those situations it could be handy to select in vertical blocks. Word can do that if you select and press the Alt-button.
A workaround could be to (temporarily) convert the text you want to select to a table. After that it is possible to select the column you need to copy or cut. William M.
