Description markellse 2003-07-23 00:51:24 UTC 
So far as I see, there is no easy way of selecting a single cell in a table. It 
is possible to drage the cursor over two cells and then step back. Sometimes it 
is possible to select a cell by dragging over that, but this is not easy, and 
one usually selects more than one cell.

What we really need is an easy way of selecting a single cell.

Suggestion: How about a double-click to select the cell and a
triple-click to select the row?

(It's not been a problem for me as MS Word behaves in a similar
fashion, but it would surely be neat for OOo to have a better method
than Word.

This is a bit quirky in 1.1rc4, but otherwise fine. Certainly no
longer a problem. Mark Ellse
