Hello Gerry and others. Although I know what you say below to be true, someone some months ago was tauting a new feature of MS Word (2003) which allowed her to, and I quote, click on an x that marks the beginning of a block to be highlighted, then move the cursor to the end of the block, issue another command and, magic, a section is highlighted without all the fussing around necessary with shift key combinations. I would much like to hear from her again, or from anyone else who is aware of this feature, assuming it exists. All the best, Jerry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry Richer" <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, June 07, 2004 10:58 AM Subject: Re: highlight text in Microsoft Word > Bill!
