Selecting Text in MS Word and Other Programs 07/02

Many people, when they need to select a word, click at the beginning of the word and drag the mouse to the end of the word. The easier way is to simply double click anywhere in the word that you want to be selected.

Note: Double clicking will select the word in virtually any program: Notepad, Internet Explorer, etc. Double click any word in this sentence and see how it becomes selected.

To select the entire paragraph, click three times on any word from this paragraph. The entire paragraph becomes selected.

How can you select the text in the left column without selecting the text from the right column? Hold down the Alt key and drag the mouse down and to the right. (Click PLAY button in the illustration below.)
