WHAT ARE SOME SHORTCUTS FOR SELECTING TEXT?
Most of the editing that you do in documents requires selecting text. Selecting text means that you highlight part of a document so that it can be modified, added to, or deleted. The F8 key, otherwise know as the ExtendSelection key, can be used in various ways to select parts of a document. By pressing the F8 key once, you turn on the ExtendSelection option. The EXT will be displayed on the status bar at the bottom of your screen. When the EXT is turned on, you may select text by moving the Cursor up, down, to the right, and to the left.
