Select Nonconsecutive Items in Word 2002

Now Word 2002 users can do something Microsoft Excel users have been doing for a long time—select multiple items that aren't next to each other.

For example, you can select a word in the first paragraph, and a word in the fifth paragraph, but not all the words in between. This is helpful if you want to perform the same task on multiple items, such as delete them or change their formatting.

Here's how you can select items that aren't next to each other:

1.            Select the first item you want, such as a table cell or paragraph.

2.            Hold down CTRL.

3.            Select any additional items you want.
