A user submitted this (Shift+Right+click) to word.mvps.org, and Jonathan
passed it on to me. Evidently John McGhie discovered the other one, which
unfortunately is no good to me because I don't have access to the numeric
keypad.

Shift+Right-click

Hi Suzanne,

Wow!! Bet you didn't discover that one in the help files?
I didn't find most of the shortcuts involving the mouse there.

Some others:
Ctrl+drag (object/text/table...): Create a duplicate,
Ctrl+Shift+Drag (object/text/table...): Create a link,
Ctrl+Drag or Ctrl+Shift+Drag selection to the Windows desktop or into an
Explorer folder: Create a scrap file,
Ctrl+Right-click: Move the selection to a new location,
Ctrl+Double-click (picture): Resize to original size,
Alt+Drag: Column select mode.

Did I miss any shortcuts in the document window? (There are quite a few
others
in the UI, like double-clicking on a toolbar for "Tools Customize", or
Alt+Drag tabs ...)

Klaus

Luckily, for selecting columns you do have a built-in alternative:
Shift+Right-click. As a substitute for Alt+Double-click to select the
entire
table, you can, if you have a numeric keypad, press Alt + Num 5 (with
NumLock *off*).

Errrm, I was a bit befuddled he
You never have been able to intercept Alt+Click, or other
mouse-related
shortcuts, in any version of Word.

"ResearchLookup" has another shortcut besides Alt+Click: Ctrl+Shift+O.
Looks as if the designers wanted another, simpler shortcut for that
new
feature,
and probably we're now stuck with it.

The best we can do is assign a new keyboard shortcut to
"ColumnSelect".
