Select table cells, rows, and columns
When you select part or
all of the text in a cell, that selection has the same appearance
as would text selected outside a table. However, if the selection spans
more than one cell, the cells and their contents are both selected.
If
a table spans more than one frame, holding the mouse pointer over
any header or footer row that is not the first header or footer
row causes a lock icon to appear, indicating that you cannot select
text or cells in that row. To select cells in a header or footer
row, go to the beginning of the table.
Select cells Using the Type tool , do
any of the following:To select a single cell, click inside a
table, or select text, and then choose Table > Select >
Cell.
To select multiple cells, drag across a cell border.
Be careful not to drag the column or row line so that you don’t
resize the table.
 To switch between selecting all of the
text in a cell and selecting the cell, press Esc.
Select entire columns or rows
 Before and after selecting Row
Select all header, body, or footer rows- Click inside a table, or select text.
- Choose Table > Select > Header
Rows, Body Rows, or Footer Rows.
Select the entire table Using the Type tool , do
any of the following:Click inside a table, or select text, and
then choose Table > Select > Table.
Move the pointer over the upper left corner of the
table so that the pointer becomes an arrow shape , and
then click to select the entire table.

 You can also select a table in the same
way you select an anchored graphic—place the insertion point immediately
before or after a table, and then hold down Shift while pressing
the Right Arrow key or Left Arrow key, respectively, to select the table.
