Hi there to the experts,

got WWB15, Win10 and a table in a layout grid.
Is there a trick to highlight/select texts in multiple cells at the same time?
Important: I would like to hightlight the text, the content of each cell; NOT the entire cell itself.

Thanks in advance
J.V.

A table is basically a grid of multiple text items. Only one text item can be in 'edit-mode' at the same time.
So, it is not possible to highlight the text of multiple items.
However, it is possible to change the formatting (font, color, size) of multiple text items:
- select multiple cells.
- hold shift and click cell properties.

Note that this is also documented in the help.

Sorry, that is not possible. This can only be set in 'edit mode'.
