= SUMMARY =

If you COMMAND+click in the selection bar (or press COMMAND+OPTION+M) in a document that contains only a table, you cannot access the Cells command on the Format menu or the Table command on the Edit menu. This problem occurs because the paragraph mark following the table is not part of the table, but is needed for storing certain paragraph and section properties.

To correctly select the entire table (without the paragraph mark), hold down the OPTION key and double-click the mouse button when the cursor is anywhere inside the table.
