Select multiple rows in word table

Question

Hi

How can I select the highlighted row at one operation. I try using Alt+Shift+End , but it only works for 1 row at a time. I am thinking to use VBA, but I dont know how to start.

Basically: I want to search multiple parts in this table (library) and return the matched rows in different table (table 2)

Answer 1

Select the first row, and then move the mouse cursor to the position shown in the following screen shot and then hold down the CTRL key and click the left mouse button.

Hi Waqas,

I really appreciate your help. What happen if my table have 1000 rows; if there a way that I can do it.

My attempt:

 a. Use find function (advance find) to select the highlighted text

 b. From the highlighted text, selected the corresponding row

        (i struggle in this step).

        Is there a way (VBA) that can help me do it w/o manual work

Thanks

Dear Thien Nguyen1,

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

As per your description, please don’t worry, we can work together to narrow down and resolve the situation.

 In Word 365, you may use mouse to select multiple non-contiguous cells in a Word table. To select multiple non-contiguous rows, move the cursor to the left of the first row until it changes into a white right arrow and then click to select the row. Press Ctrl and click with the white right arrow on subsequent rows.

Your understanding and patience will be highly appreciated. I hope that you are keeping safe and well!

Sincerely, 

Waqas Muhammad
