In the Windows, Mac, and Linux version of PlanMaker, you can select cells and cell contents as follows:
Selecting via the mouse
To select something via the mouse, proceed as follows:
▪Selecting cell ranges
| You can select arbitrary cell ranges by pressing and holding the left mouse button while you drag the mouse pointer over the cells to be selected. |
▪Selecting whole rows and columns
| An entire column can be selected by clicking on its column header. Column headers are buttons displayed above the sheet, labeled A, B, C, and so on. |
| There are also row headers for each row. They are located at the left of the sheet and labeled 1, 2, 3, etc. If you click on a row header, the entire row is selected. |
| If you left-click and drag the mouse over several column or row headers, you can select multiple columns or rows at the same time. |
▪Selecting the entire worksheet
| The button at the top left of the worksheet window (above 1 and to the left of A) has a special function: clicking on it will select the entire worksheet. |
| Alternatively, you can do the same with the ribbon command Home | Select all  . |
▪Selecting a single cell
| To select a single cell, click on that cell, drag the mouse cursor to a neighboring cell, and drag it back again (while holding down the left mouse button). |
▪Selecting non-contiguous cell ranges
| You can also select non-contiguous (not connected) ranges of cells. For this purpose, hold down the Ctrl key and use the mouse to select a range of cells as described above. |
▪Selecting just a part of a cell content
| To select just a part of a cell content, proceed as follows: |
| First, double-click on the cell (in order to edit it). Then, drag the mouse cursor over the characters that you want to select (while holding down the left mouse button). |
▪Selecting objects
| To select an object (for example, a picture, a drawing, etc.), simply click on it with the mouse. A frame will then appear around the object to indicate that it is now selected. |
| To select multiple objects, switch to object mode (see Object mode). |
Selecting via the keyboard
Alternatively, you can use the keyboard for selecting. To do so, proceed as follows:
▪Selecting cell ranges
| To select a range of cells, hold down the Shiftñ key, and select the cells by navigating with the arrow keys. |
| For example, if you navigate to cell B5, hold down the Shiftñ key, and press â five times, the cells B5 to B10 will be selected. You can find a list of all key combinations suitable for navigating in a table in the section Shortcut keys. |
▪Selecting a single cell
| To select a single cell, navigate to that cell, hold down the Shiftñ key, use any arrow key to select a neighboring cell and then go back to the original cell. |
| So, for example, from the cell to be selected while holding down the Shift keyñ first press the à key and then the ß key. |
▪Selecting non-contiguous cell ranges
| Non-contiguous cell ranges can only be selected with the mouse (see above). |
▪Selecting just a part of a cell content
| To select just a part of a cell content, proceed as follows: |
| Navigate to the cell and press the F2 key (in order to edit the cell). Then, use the arrow keys together with the Shiftñ key to select text in the usual manner. |
▪Selecting objects
Objects can only be selected with the mouse (see above).
