Long-time lurker here. I had to jump in to say that on a PC it's perfectly
possible to select text in Word (and many other programs) using combinations
of the Ctr and Shift keys and the Home and End keys and the left- and
right-arrows.
eg, Move cursor to where you want to start. To select to the end of the
line, just hold the Shift key and hit End. Voila!
Shift-Ctrl-End will select to the end of the document, etc.
Hi, Frank, and thanks for that information. But i have to ask, how
many keystrokes would it take to more the cursor in the first place
without using the mouse at all? I doubt that I'd have the
patience!!! But I haven't tried it, so I guess I shouldn't knock it.
