Selecting Text in a Page

The first step in working with text is to highlight, or select, the text you want. Once you've selected it, you can format, replace, delete, copy, and move (cut) words, sentences, and paragraphs within one Web page or between Web pages. When you finish with or decide not to use a selection, you can click anywhere in the page to deselect the text.

Select Text

Position the pointer in the word, paragraph, line, or part of the page you want to select.

Choose the method that accomplishes the task you want to complete in the easiest way.

Refer to the table for methods to select text.
