A. While it’s true
there are undocumented processes in many Microsoft applications—as in
other tools as well—your inability to make them work is not because
you lack some secret information. Instead, perhaps you haven’t done
the right thing yet. For example, before those clicking “tricks” can
work, you have to inform Word of your preferences. To do that, go to
Tools , Options and click on the
Edit tab.
Notice in the middle of the screen, on the right side, a box marked When selecting, automatically select entire word. Place a check in it. Without that box marked, none of the screen clicking will work. Here are the clicking tricks. To select
A single word , double-click on it.
An entire paragraph , triple-click
anywhere inside the paragraph or double-click on the left margin.
A sentence , hold down Ctrl and click on
the sentence.
A line (all text in one line from left
to right margin), single-click on the left margin.
An entire document , triple-click on the
left margin or press Ctrl+A.
Another useful trick: To easily move an entire paragraph up or down, highlight it, press Alt+Shift and then either click on the up arrow (to move the paragraph up) or the down key (to move it down). And if you use automatic numbering, it even will adjust any existing numbers.
