select text
To select text, do any of the following while viewing a spreadsheet in editing view:
Select a word: Double tap it.
Select a paragraph: Triple tap in the paragraph.
Select an item in a list: Tap its bullet, number or letter.
Select a range of text: Double tap a word, then move the grab points to include more or less text.
You can select a range of text only within the same area of a sheet — for example, within a single text box, shape or table cell.
To deselect all text selections, click anywhere on the sheet outside a selection.
