Selecting Text
Troubleshooting selection techniques
When using the click-and-drag method to select text, have you ever selected a lot of text without meaning to?
What can you do to avoid this frustration? Use the Shift key.
- Click once at the starting point of the text you desire to be selected.
- Hold down the Shift key on the keyboard while clicking at the ending point of the text you desire to be selected.
- The text in between those two points should be selected.
When text is selected, pressing any key will delete it. The Undo button often comes in handy for this common mistake.
