Tech Tip - Save Time With Double and Triple Clicks

Rather than manually highlighting and deleting blocks of text, Microsoft Word lets you quickly select words and entire paragraphs using simple mouse clicks. This can really help to save time and increase your efficiency when editing documents. Here's how it works:

Double click to highlight individual words

Simply double-click on any word to highlight it. This action will select the entire word, allowing you to quickly apply changes such as bolding, italicising, or copying the word.

Triple click to highlight whole paragraphs

In Microsoft Word, triple-clicking on any word within a paragraph will highlight the entire paragraph. This feature makes it easy to move, format, or delete large blocks of text without the hassle of dragging your mouse from start to end.
