I suggest to add support to select an entire row in Microsoft Excel by typing the key combination Shift + Space and add support to select an entire column by typing the key combination Ctrl + Space and add support to selecting all document with combinaison key Ctrl+A.

Implemented in changeset:main,3616.

Changing milestone to 2010.2 as it has been fixed and therefore the fix will be in that release.

Please which language have you got set in the General settings dialog?
Can you please try this with NVDA language set to english?
In case you have got set the language to windows (default) then please provide your system user interface language setting.

If you are using italian or japanese language file I may have worked around this issue in changeset:releases,2010.2,3849. When these language files will get updated their contributors will most likelly look into the matter and verify my attempt for a fix and / or provide a better one.

With Snapshots 3862 all work well also for italian language.
Thank you!
