Select Next/Select Previous

The Select Next/Select Previous options are useful for selecting one page object at a time.  It's a good way to select a table without wiping out a cell selection.

For example, when you select a range in a graph, notice that a number of cells within the table are selected in the table BUT if you try to select the table with the mouse, it wipes out the selection.  These cells can be copied to the clipboard by selecting a range in a graph, then choosing Select Next until the table is selected.  Finally, choose Copy from the Edit menu.
