Select Whole Populated Area

Hi -

I just got my iMac 5 days ago so please bear with me. So far I am in absolute love with it.

My question is this - in Numbers is there a keyboard shortcut that is equivalent to Excel Ctrl-Shift-Arrow Key to select a whole area in a table that is populated?

Holding shift allows me to select on cell at a time but is there a shortcut to get the whole row/ column?

Thanks!

cd,

Agreeing with Yvan that there doesn't appear to be a keyboard shortcut to selecting an entire Column or Row, would you be happy with a single mouse click? Clicking the label at the top of a Column or at the left end of a Row will select the entire Column or Row. If you didn't want quite the entire Column or Row, you can then Command-Click individual cells to deselect them.

Regards,

Jerry
