Word and Writer
SELECT TEXT QUICKLY
Double-click a word once to select it, or triple-click to select an entire paragraph. In Word, hold Ctrl as you click to select the sentence. Hold down Alt and click and drag to select a block of text.
SUPER-SMART SELECTIONS
There’s a handy option under Editing on Word’s Home tab called Select – click this and you’ll see an option to ‘Select Text with Similar Formatting’, which enables you to quickly select all text with the same style as the current selection. The feature isn’t available in LibreOffice Writer, but it is available when editing documents online in Google Docs – position your cursor, right-click and choose ‘Select all matching text’, which produces matches based on font, style and colour as well as styles.
