How do I use Block Text??
It depends on what you mean by "Block Text." There is a Block Text style in
Word that has both left and right indents. (They're 1" on each side, which I consider excessive, but you can modify the style.) If you're talking about Block Protect, there is no exact equivalent in Word, and, although "Keep with next" and "Keep lines together" accomplish some of the same things, there's no entirely satisfactory substitute. -- Suzanne S.

Word includes a built-in style called Block Text - go to FormatStyles &
Formatting, then open the list at the bottom of the Styles & Formatting Task Pane & select All Styles to make it available in the Styles list (although you may not prefer the complete effect), or Another option is to use the FormatParagraph dialog to set your own left & right indents - preferably as specs in a style you create yourself. Alternatively you can move the L/R Indent markers on the Ruler Bar. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Genius695" wrote in message ...

If you want to select a vertical block of text,
1) hold down ALT 2) select a block of text with the mouse 3) release ALT 4) release mouse button Note: if you release the mouse button first, the text will be highlighted, but apparently not selected, because you can't delete, copy, or replace it.
