Command-A will select all cells.
Also, clicking on the diamond shape to the left of Column A header and
above Row 1 header will select all cells.

To follow up on my previous post...

After selecting all cells, don't delete. Instead, Format > Cells >
Patterns (tab) - Cell Shading - No Color

BUT NOW ALL THESE CELLS WONT ACCEPT TEXT. YOU TYPE INTO THEM AND NOTHING
HAPPENS, ALTHOUGH THE TEXT DOES SHOW IN THE FORMULA BAR.

Is the text color set to white?

As someone else wrote, it sounds like you got more than you bargained
for when you did a paste.
