Hello,

Embarrased to ask, but just can't find it.

Is there an icon somewhere to click on that does in effect a "Select All"
that will highlight everything in a text document for possible copying or
cutting ?

Thanks,
B.
 
In addition to the menu items Greg suggests, the easiest way to select
everything in the main body of the document is to Ctrl+click in the left
margin.

Ctrl+Clicking in the margin doesn't work in W2007, but triple-clicking in
the margin does.

Oh! It doesn't for me. I'll look into this. Are you using Vista or XPP? Are
you using Off2k7 sp2?

Works for me here. XP SP2 + Word 2007 SP2.

Ctrl + Clicking in the margin...
Works here on my Laptop with Vista SP1 Word 2007 and all updates.

but so far it hasn't been downloaded).

Ctl-Click works here on 2007 with SP2....
 
Working here too now. I changed a setting for my Logitech mouse which
brought back the function: strangely though, when I reverted the setting, it
still worked!

For me, it seems to be a question of whether I have selected text beforehand
or not: if no text is selected, Ctrl+Click in the left margin selects all. If
text is selected, Ctrl+Click selects a line of text only or a row in case of
a table. I see the same behavior in Word 2003. However, I most often use
Ctrl+A.
