We all know that selecting text in MS Word is a common task, but do you know how many different ways you can accomplish that task using your mouse?

I am all about saving time and keystrokes and love to show other folks how to as well.  Check out the five time-saving methods of selecting text in MS Word below.

1. Double-click a single word to select it.
2. Click in the left-hand margin next to a line of text to select it.
3. CTRL + click anywhere in a sentence will select the entire sentence.
4. Triple-click anywhere in a paragraph to have it selected. You can also highlight the entire paragraph by clicking twice in the left-hand margin.
5. Click three times in the left-hand margin to select your entire  document.
