Re: [users] Writer: Highlight row
Sorry about that! My keyboard was taken over by multiple movements, momentarily. Here's a MAC article you may find helpful: http://www.uis.edu/its/otherservices/documents/Other/BasicTechTips.pdf. I'm using WinXP Pro and found that Shift+UpArrow (or down arrow) depending on your cursor placement will select a sentence. It works for me in the abovementioned pdf file, as well as OpenOffice Writer. I haven't tried all of the suggested shortcuts, however, since one of them works for me, perhaps others will too.

Re: [users] Writer: Highlight row
You're quite right about the shift+end combination. I didn't know of your need to be anywhere in the line. How about using Home to go to the beginning of the line, followed by Shift+end to select the whole line. I'm on a Mac, and I'm sure I have also used the same triple-click on a PC. What system are you using that prevents you from multiple clicking? In every system I've used, single click selects an insertion point, double click selects a word, and triple click selects the line. I hope this helps.

In OOo 3.0 Writer, how can a user highlight the current row of text with a keyboard shortcut? Specifically, I intend to use this with lists, for highlighting a list item.
