Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I tried to cut and paste a bit of Rich Text into a Numbers cell but now I can't get back to using Plain Text in Numbers. The paste font is too large and in bold. Thank you for looking at this.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.2
"This only deleted the content of the selected cell."
You got lucky, then!
A single click on a cell selects the cell. Command A or Select All at that stage will Select All items in the same category as the current selection (ie. all Cells), and pressing delete will then delete the contents of all cells in the table.
Clicking twice on a cell selects the cell (first click) AND places the insertion point in that cell.
Pressing command-a or choosing Select All at that point will select all of the text in that cell, and pressing delete will delete what is selected—all the text in that cell.

Barry
PS: If you do manage to accidentally delete more than intended…
The OOPS! key is your best friend. Press command-Z to undo that delete.

I found the solution was to tap the cell to select it and then choose Select All from the drop-down menu and press Delete. This only deleted the content of the selected cell.
