Selecting text the easy way

In Microsoft Word, if your cursor is within the text...

• you can double-click a word to highlight it
• you can triple-click to highlight an entire paragraph
• Ctrl-A will highlight an entire document

If you move your mouse to the left margin outside of the text (so that the cursor flips its arrow direction)...

• a single-click will highlight an entire line
• a double-click will highlight an entire paragraph
• a triple-click will highlight the entire document
