Using your mouse is the most common way of selecting text. We’ve already talked about how to use your mouse to select text. Let’s go over the steps again:

-          Place your mouse to one end of the part of text you want to select. Remember that you can select a whole word, a phrase, a paragraph, a page, or even a whole document. You can also select any part of these levels (for example, the first two lines of a paragraph).

-          Hold down your left mouse button and drag your mouse over the text you want to select.

Once you’ve completed these steps, the text will appear highlighted (usually with black), like this:

You can see how the cursor changes to an I-Beam to let us know that we can select.
