Default Selecting multiple non-adjacent lines of text

Is there any way to configure Word 2000 so that it behaves like Word 2003?

My specific issue is that, while using Word 03, I can select multiple
non-adjacent lines of text by dragging my cursor over to the left margin
until it become an arrow pointing (roughly) to one o'clock, then clicking
once to grab the first line, then holding down the CTRL key and clicking on
any other lines I need. This allows me, for instance, to select every second
line out of a 25-30 line paragraph. When I try to do the same thing in 2000,
though, as soon as I hold the CTRL key and try clicking on another line, it
selects the entire document.

Can anyone shed some light on this situation? I'm about ready to put my fist
through the computer at work - after, of course, I bludgeon the entire
Finance department to death for not approving software upgrades.
