= SUMMARY =

A column of text or numbers separated from other columns by tabs in Microsoft Word for the Macintosh can be selected by holding down the OPTION key and selecting the desired column of text or numbers with the mouse.

However, items in this OPTION-selected column cannot be altered individually by the Replace, Spelling, or Hyphenate options.

The main use for this feature is to enable “Calculation” (addition, multiplication, etc., from the Utilities menu) with a column of numbers; however, copying, cutting, and pasting are also allowed.
