I, like the original poster, would like to have the option to line-select as I
do with MS Word. Not *instead* of the multiple clicks one can use in Writer, but
"in addition to". 

There is one annoyance I've found when trying to select lots of text with the
mouse. Lets see if I can describe this clearly. 

I've found that, sometimes, selecting multiple lines by "click and drag," and
it's so much text that I force Writer to scroll down the page, there is a
"rubber-band" effect. That is, Writer will spring the selection back to the
previous screen where I started selecting, and keeps "rubberbanding" the
selection no matter how many times I try. 

Using shift-arrow down/page down works without problem though.

I was going to say "always" instead of "sometimes," since this is one of the
things that force me to go back to Word. However, I decided to make one last
"reality check" before posting, and Writer "made me look bad" by allowing me to
do screen-scroling click-drag-selects without rubberbanding *sigh*... so I don't
know if this is an easily reproducible issue, or if its something that only
happens to me. I wanted to give a heads-up about this just in case anyway.
