Trouble with cursor in Tables

[Nan Ros]

I am trying to add data to a word table.

When I left click my mouse, so that I can start adding data, no cursor shows
up. Instead, all the words that are already in that cell become highlighted.

Makes it very hard to add text.

Ordinarily a cell will be selected when you tab into it or when you click to
the left of it (arrow-shaped mouse pointer). But if you have an I-beam mouse
pointer and click in the text, it should not all be selected unless it is a
field.
