Table columns are a common feature in Microsoft Word. They allow you to easily select a specific column in a document. To select a table column, use the following steps:

  1. Open Microsoft Word and click the Table Columns button.
  2. In the Table Columns dialog, enter the name of the table column you want to select.
  3. Click OK to return to the Table Columns dialog.

First you’ll need a document with a table, of course. This tip is most useful if you’ve got a really huge table that spans multiple pages. Instead of scrolling all the way to the top, you can just:

Hold down the Shift key, and then use the Right mouse button anywhere within the column.

Instant column selection!

Hopefully this helps somebody else navigate the dark waters of Office.
