Hello,

Embarrased to ask, but just can't find it.

Is there an icon somewhere to click on that does in effect a "Select All"
that will highlight everything in a text document for possible copying or
cutting ?

Thanks,
B.

In addition to the menu items Greg suggests, the easiest way to select
everything in the main body of the document is to Ctrl+click in the left
margin.

Ctrl+Clicking in the margin doesn't work in W2007, but triple-clicking in
the margin does.

Ctrl+click in the margin works in Word 2007 for me.

Working here too now. I changed a setting for my Logitech mouse which
brought back the function: strangely though, when I reverted the setting, it
still worked!

For me, it seems to be a question of whether I have selected text beforehand
or not: if no text is selected, Ctrl+Click in the left margin selects all. If
text is selected, Ctrl+Click selects a line of text only or a row in case of
a table. I see the same behavior in Word 2003. However, I most often use
Ctrl+A.
