Hello Jessi,
Have you tried using the shift key with arrow keys to select text?
This is the way I normally do it.
• Shift-Command-Right Arrow will highlight from current position to
the end of the line;
• Shift-Command-Left Arrow will highlight from current position to the
beginning of the line;
• Shift-Option-Right Arrow highlights one word forward;
• Shift-Option-Left Arrow highlights one word backward;
• Shift-Right Arrow highlights next character;
• Shift-Left Arrow highlights previous character.
• Shift-Command-Down Arrow highlights from current position to the end
of the document;
• Shift-Command-Up Arrow highlights from current position to the
beginning of the document;
•Shift-Down Arrow highlights one line down;
• Shift-Up Arrow highlights one line up;
Cheers,
Anne

hey guys
how come when I use the normal selecting commands in open office, it
doesn't work? I wanna select from part of a line to the end of a
document, and when I press vo return to stop selecting, it just says
selecting again like I hadn't turned selecting on but I did, lol.
it's weird and is making me unintentionally procrastinate my
homework, lol.
