Re: [libreoffice-users] Base Form behavior.

Hi :)
Errr, when you are at the top of a column and don't know how far down it goes you can always use
Ctrl down-arrow
to get to the bottom, or at least the first break.  Being fairly paranoid i do Ctrl and down-arrow 
again just to make sure the list doesn't resume after a short break of a few empty cells.  If it 
does i get to the top of the new start.  

If you also press the shift key while doing that it selects all the cells between the start and 
where-ever you have ended-up so far.  Just shift and down-arrow adds one more cell to your 
selection.  Shift and up-arrow takes the last cell off.  So, as long as you avoid taking your 
finger off the shift key you can rapidly select quite a messy column even if it has tons of breaks 
in it.  
Regards from
Tom :)
