Default "Select All": Where ?

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.

Windows XP SP2 and Word 2007 SP1 (I've been offered SP2 and approved the DL,
but so far it hasn't been downloaded).
