Select Text Short Cuts in Microsoft Word
Here are some quick short cuts that you can use when selecting text which sometimes can prove to be difficult as you try to end your selection exactly where you would like.
- Triple click anywhere inside your paragraph and the whole paragraph will be highlighted.
- If you just need a sentence highlighted, hold the CTRL key and single click anywhere in the sentence.
- If you need a single word selected, double click on that word.
For some reason, it is easier to select manually if you start at the end of the word, sentence or paragraph instead of at the beginning. Just saying… I make selections hundreds of times a day.
These short cuts will work in 95% of all software you use, not just Word.
