To select cells

Click the left mouse button and, holding it down, drag the mouse - the cells between where you first clicked and where the mouse is now will be selected. Dragging the mouse past the edge of the table will cause the table to scroll automatically.

To select columns

Clicking the left mouse button in a column title will select the entire column. Holding down the left button will allow you to drag the mouse to select multiple columns. Again, dragging the mouse past the edge of the table will cause the table scroll automatically.

Alternatively, you can select multiple columns by clicking one column, then holding down the 'Shift' key on the keyboard while clicking another column. All columns between these two will be selected.

To select rows

Move the mouse to the left-hand edge of the spreadsheet - the pointer will change to an arrow which points to the right. Clicking the left mouse button will now select the entire row. Holding down the left button will allow you to drag the mouse to select multiple rows - see figure 1. Again, dragging the mouse past the edge of the table will cause the table scroll automatically.

Alternatively, you can select multiple rows by clicking in the left-hand margin of the first row, then holding down the 'Shift' key on the keyboard while clicking in the margin of another row. All rows between these two will be selected.

Having selected some cells, columns or rows you can copy them to the clipboard or save them to a file, by selecting the appropriate option in the Data page's ribbon bar.

To remove a selection, just click anywhere in the spreadsheet.
