Please note that deleting rows could also delete hidden rows if they are in your selection. For more information, see CAUTION: Editing and Deleting when there are Hidden Rows.

  • To select a row in a Browser window, click in the row header preceding the first field to the left of the row.
  • To select multiple rows, press the Ctrl key while making selections or while dragging the mouse across row headers.
  • To deselect all rows in the selection, on the TABLE tab, in the Selection group, click Clear.
  • To delete one or more rows, select the row, or range of rows, on the HOME tab, in the Clipboard group, click Cut.

The Browser window displays a deleted row as a thin gray line, so that you know where the deletion occurred. To undo your delete, on HOME tab, in the Clipboard group, click Undo.

If there are hidden rows in the selection that you wish to delete, a warning message displays. To turn off the display of this message, see Setting your Browser Window Preferences.

If there are hidden rows in the selection that you wish to delete, a warning message displays. To turn off the display of this message, see Setting your Browser Window Preferences in the Help System.

To select a range of rows, click the button at the left edge of the Browser window and select a row. Hold the Shift key and click a second row in the same Browser. This selects all of the rows within that range (the row you clicked including the row you have selected using Shift+Click).

Tip: Clicking on a row selects the row, but also clears any previous selection. To add another row to the already selected row, hold down the Ctrl key and click on the row you want to select. Similarly, holding down the Ctrl key while you perform Shift+Click will add that range of rows to the selection, instead of clearing the previous selection.
