• Selecting Text
  Word lets you do a lot with text after you've typed it. You can change its appearance, move it around, delete it, and copy it.
  The first step is always to select the text you want to work with. You can drag your mouse pointer over the text while holding down the primary mouse button. There are shortcuts for selecting individual words, lines, sentences, and paragraphs.
• Select Word
  Double-click anywhere on a word to select the entire word and the space that follows it.
  To select adjacent words, drag after double-clicking on the first word of interest. Entire words will be selected when you drag this way.
• Select Entire Line
  
  1. Move the mouse pointer to the selection bar (an invisible strip running down the extreme left edge of the document window). The mouse pointer will change from the I-beam to an arrow.
  2. Click the primary mouse button only once. The entire line to the right of where you've clicked will be selected.
  3. Continue dragging down to select additional lines. Select Entire Sentence 1. Hold down the Ctrl key while you click anywhere in the sentence of interest.
  4. This also selects the sentence's punctuation mark and the space following the sentence, if there is one.
  5. Drag after you click this way to select additional sentences.
