How to select multiple areas with keyboard only
 
I rather use my keyboard than my mouse. I know how to select a rectangular
area on a worksheet, using only the keyboard.

I often want to select several areas on a worksheet. Using the mouse, it's
simple: select an area by dragging, then hold control while selecting the
next area.

How do I do this *without* the mouse?

Hi,

Highlight the first range with the keyboard and press Shift F8, then move to
and select the second range with the keyboard. Repeat as necessary. Add
will appear on the right side of the status bar during this operation.
