Keyboard highlights

There’s more than one way to highlight words and phrases in a Word document. Using the mouse, position the cursor on a word and double-click; the entire word highlights. If you click three times, that paragraph will highlight.

Similar shortcuts are available using only the keyboard. Place the cursor before a word, hold down Shift and Ctrl, and hit the right-arrow key; the entire word after the cursor will highlight. Hitting the right-arrow key repeatedly in this scenario will highlight additional words, as long as you hold Shift and Ctrl. Hitting the left-arrow key sends the highlighting the opposite direction. Try using the up and down arrows to highlight entire paragraphs.
