Five Methods of Selecting Text with your Mouse in MS Word

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

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.
