Hotkey to select content of the current cell

0

is there a hot-key or a sequence of hot-keys to select the content of a table-cell in MS-word? the cursor is within that cell.

All I found is Tab for next cells content and Shift+Tab for previous cells content.

Different hot key pages on the web show "toolbar 32778" as hot-key.

I need this information for a VBA Macro.

What happens if you Tab then Shift-Tab immediately? – Jan Doggen – 2013-08-27T14:40:01.020

it worked while recording a macro, but failed when I put it into another macro, returning run-time error 5678. Macro text: Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="bmF2" With ActiveDocument.Bookmarks .DefaultSorting = wdSortByName .ShowHidden = False End With Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCell Selection.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 – Stefan – 2013-08-28T08:12:48.057

In that code, you move right then left by cell, isn't your selection at that moment the entire cell contents (check)? You are deleting a character afterwards... – Jan Doggen – 2013-08-28T08:21:33.840

I posted the code the macro recorded. during recording did it delete the whole content with one click. one solution of the problem is tab then Shift-Tab, but measures have to be prepared to not jump out of the cell. (in fact, the delete is not related to my question). Now I have written a completely different approach where I marked the whole content of the cell as a bookmark and changing the text will update the bookmark as well, but that's another story. – Stefan – 2013-08-28T13:01:28.133
