Use CTRL to Select Noncontiguous Items in a Word Document

November 10th, 2005

Word 2002/2003 lets you select multiple noncontiguous items in a document.

Although this feature has been available in Excel for some time, it was not introduced in Word until ver. 2002, and is still available in ver. 2003.

For example, you can select the headings of two or more sections in a document, without selecting the text in between.

Here’s how:

  1. Select the first item (word, sentence, heading, paragraph, etc.)
  2. Hold down CTRL.
  3. Select any additional items you want.
