Default keyboard shortcuts selecting text

I cannot use the mouse as I am visually impaired so I memorize keyboard
shortcuts witch can often, to me, be faster then moving your hand back and
forth between the keyboard and mouse.

D'oh! I enter text with the keyboard and edit with the mouse, so I just
wasn't thinking!

Thank you for responding, but I was looking for a keyboard shortcut

without
using the mouse with the clicks, I know how to do that. I did find out

the
F8 is the key to use in doing all 3 that I needed to find out about.
Unfortunately, I'm still trying to turn on the select mode once it's

turned
on. Thanks again for responding !

Double-click to select a word, Ctrl+click to select a sentence (more or
less). Triple-click (or double-click in the left margin) to select a
paragraph. All these shortcuts are listed in Word's Help under
"Keyboard
shortcuts."
