remove content from a table

Question

Hello,

I am using Word 2011 for Mac and I am working in a table. I would like to clear the content of a table without deleting the table. When I select the relevant cells, the only option I have is to delete the cells, while I just want to remove the text that is in them.
Is this possible? I could do it back when I was still using XP and "I can't remember what" Word.
Thanks in advance.

Configuration: Mac OS X (10.9.4) / Safari 7.0.6

Hello,  You go to the Edit dropdown menu, then click on Clear. You will then have the choice between Clear Formatting and Content.

Hello.  I have a hard time understanding you: just select the table and press [Delete]!  -- Retirement is great! Especially in the Caribbean... :-) Raymond (INSA, AFPA, CF/R)

Hello,
Indeed, it used to work like that before. But since I started using Word on Mac, that's no longer the case. When I select one or more cells and delete, it asks me to choose between 4 options (shift cells left, ...)
It's impossible to delete the selected text without deleting the cells. Or I have to go into each cell, one by one, and delete character by character, which is a bit long!
Thank you for trying to help me. Have a nice day.
