I read somewhere that there are short cuts to "select" sentences, entire
paragraph and the entire document text. I can't remember the short cuts.
Can anyone help?
 
Ctrl+click in a sentence will select it (keeping in mind that a "sentence"
is a text string that ends with a period, question mark, or exclamation
point, so the selection may be truncated if you have abbreviations in the
text). Double-click will select a word, triple-click a paragraph. You can
also select a paragraph by double-clicking in the left margin when the arrow
is pointing to it. Ctrl+click in the left margin will select the entire
document, as will Ctrl+A.

All these shortcuts and many others will be found in the Help topic "Select
text and graphics." Another Help topic, "Keyboard shortcuts," provides
shortcuts for other operations.
