Select tables, cells, rows, and columns in Keynote on iPhone
To edit and rearrange tables, cells, rows, and columns, you must first select them.
Select a table
Sometimes you must select rather than just tap a table to complete a specific task. Selecting ensures that the table is in the correct state for the steps that follow.
First tap outside the table to make sure it’s unselected, then tap the table to select it.
Select cells
Select a cell: Tap the table, then tap the cell once.
Select a range of adjacent cells: Tap the table, tap a cell once, then drag a blue dot across the range of adjacent cells.
If you don’t see the blue dots, tap
to close the keyboard, then try again to select the range.
Accessibility Tip: To make a rectangular selection of multiple cells using VoiceOver, select any cell handle. Double-tap and hold, then drag up, down, left, or right to change the selection. VoiceOver speaks the cell selection when you stop dragging the handle.Select nonadjacent cells: Tap a cell, tap it again, tap Select Cells, then tap more cells in the table or drag a blue dot across the cells you want to select. When you finish selecting, tap Done.
Select all cells in the table: Tap a cell, tap it again, tap Select Cells, then tap Select All. When you finish selecting, tap Done.
Select a cell to add or edit content: Double-tap the cell.
Select rows and columns
Tap the table.
Letters appear above the columns and numbers appear to the left of the rows.
Do any of the following:
Select a single row or column: Tap the number or letter for the row or column.

Select nonadjacent rows or columns: Tap the number or letter for a row or column, tap Select Cells, then tap more rows or columns or drag a blue dot across the rows or columns you want to select. When you finish selecting, tap Done.
