Hello Pele, As you probably know, MS Word has its own specific method of highlighting things as well as the generic methods of selection common to all Microsoft and other Windows programs. The below extract from my Microsoft Word 97, 2000, 2002 and 2003 from the Keyboard tutorial is only a short part from the section on highlighting in word but should give you an idea of how to highlight prior to carrying out common actions on highlighted blocks of text, such as deleting it, copying it, changing its attributes, etc. ******* 2. Another use of the F8 selection method is to highlight from one particular point on a multipage document to another several pages further on. If you wanted to select text from the start of page 2 to the word 'budget' halfway down page 73, you would locate the word 'budget' on page 73, put a unique marker just to the left of the word budget (say two > signs), go back to the top of page 2, press F8, press the >> sign and everything will be selected to that point.In other words, pressing F8 lets you then press any alphanumeric key to find the first instance of that letter or symbol (>> in this example) and it will be found and everything between is highlighted ready for whatever action you wish to perform on it.

I want to be able to copy a large amount of text to another document without having to find the beginning and hold down Control and Down Arrow until I find the end. In Excel block and copy can be achieved with Go To, but I have not yet found a way in Word.
