Selecting a Word

If you are using a mouse, Word provides a shortcut to select an entire word. To do this, follow these two steps:

1. Using the mouse pointer, point to the word you want to select.
2. Double-click on the mouse.

If you want to select additional words, hold down the mouse button after the second click and drag the mouse across them. Word adds one word at a time to your selection. Once the words are selected, you can do any other editing function on those words.
