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.)
