The highlighting of text in a document is way too fast. I
cannot control what I want highlighted especially when
going from one page to another. How do I slow it down?
Using the arrow keys does not work either.
 
Couple of tricks:

1. Click your mouse where you want to start highlighting, scroll down to
where you want to stop highlighting, hold the SHIFT key and click your
mouse. Everything in between is selected.

2. Triple-click inside a paragraph to select the entire paragraph. Scroll
down, hold the SHIFT key and click inside another paragraph. It too is now
selected.

3. Use Word's built-in feature (Extend - F8 function key).

Your best bet is to open Word's HELP menu, click the "Index" TAB, type
"Shortcut", double-click on "Shortcut keys", in the list of items, select
the "Keyboard shortcuts", scroll down and check out the "Editing text and
moving graphics" section.
