Yes. Select e.g cell 1 on the top , keep pressing ALT and click on a cell n in the same column or row this will select your column or row elements you chose - BUT once done click on column or row gui tab. Now data is selected and use CTL+C to copy; if you want to select an entire table select top left 1st cell and then ALT pressed, click bottom right last cell - BUT you have to click right most column gui tab ...CTL+C ,...
