Simple Quesion, yet hard for me :)

I am about to start the joan of arc tutorial. But before I can start or get anywhere with extruding faces, it goofs up and has never done this before and I Dont know how to fix it.
When I turn it into a editable mesh, turn on face select or wahtever by hitting f4 I do believe(this allows you to see what side of the cube you have selected), I go to select the face I want to extrude from the cube, but it only selects half of it, and I must select the other half. Is there any way I can turn it back so I just select anywhere on the face I want to extrude and I wont have to select the other half? Its starting to annoy me

thanks!.

Your problem is you are working with faces, faces are 3 sided polygons, try working with polygons.

Press 4 to edit your model in polygon mode.
