How to delete/clear the contents of a Microsoft Word table (without deleting the table/rows/columns)

If you want to clear the contents of your Microsoft Word table but don't want to delete the table, rows and columns, highlight the cells that you want to clear and select the delete button on your keyboard, if you are using a Mac press fn + delete.

I tried this on my MacBook, but it didn't work. I highlighting the contents and push "delete" and it bring up a pop up prompting me to clarify if I wanted to delete the row or column, etc. I did figure out it would only delete the contents in the table without deleting the table/row/columms on my MacBook by highlighting the contents, hold "fn", and push "delete"k.

[@haoxue1373]

select and press ctrl and x and the same time for the newer versions of word to delete only the content and avoid any pop ups

I needed to delete text randomly from some cells in a Microsoft Word table on my MacBook Pro. And I discovered that after selecting the cells and using the control^ + D keys all the text in the selected cells are deleted, and it does not affect or change the table itself. Enjoy the tip.

Thank you for the comment about Word for Mac, in the I am switching to a Mac at my job and have been going nuts trying to figure out basic functions that previously were taken care of by the delete button on a PC!!

Thank you u saved me from 3 hours straight

[@user-lq9vk6ve5w]

This does not work for me as it still deletes the cells.

[@user-nw6gw6wm7m]

I figured it out! You do the same steps, but instead of pushing just "delete," you push both "fn" and "delete" at the same time.
