According to help, Select All: 

> Selects the entire content of the current file, frame, or text object.
Comment 2 Graham Perrin 2009-02-09 16:33:30 UTC 
Alternatively: 

1. select some text below (beyond the boundary of) the table

2. command-A to select all

3. selection is lost

4. Table toolbar appears
