Select tables, cells, rows and columns in Pages on Mac
To edit and rearrange tables, cells, rows and columns, you must first select them.
Note: The tasks below apply to a table you add to your page. They don’t apply to a page you formatted into columns.
Select a table
Sometimes you must select rather than just click a table to complete a specific task. Selecting ensures that the table is in the correct state for the steps that follow.
Go to the Pages app
on your Mac.Open a document with a table, click outside the table to make sure it’s unselected, then click the table to select it.
Select cells

on your Mac.Open a document with a table, then do one of the following:
Select a cell: Click the table, then click the cell once.
Select a range of adjacent cells: Click the table, click the cell once, then drag a white dot any direction across the range of adjacent cells.
If you drag the yellow dot, you copy the cell contents to the rows you drag over. If you do this accidentally, drag the yellow dot back to its original position or press Command-Z on the keyboard to undo the action.
Select non-adjacent cells: Click the table, click the cell once, then Command-click any other cells.
