A review of ways to select text in Microsoft Word:
- To select a single word, double click it.
- To select a sentence, hold down the CTRL key and click within the sentence.
- To select a paragraph, triple click within the paragraph.
- To select the whole document, press CTRL+A.
- To select from the insertion point to the end of the document, press CTRL+SHIFT+END.
- To select from the insertion point to the top of the document, press CTRL+SHIFT+HOME.
Multiple lines can also be selected by moving the mouse to the left edge of the text (in the margin area). When the mouse turns into a white arrow pointing to the right, click and hold the mouse button and drag down until the desired lines are selected.
