Can't make multiple selections in Word 2000


Recommended Posts

Posted

I cannot select (highlight) more than one item at a time in Word 2000. As soon as I begin to highlight a second item (while holding down the "Ctrl" key) the first item becomes unselected. How can I fix that behavior? I don't have any problem selecting multiple separate lines of text in Word 2003, why is Word 2000 having a problem with it? :blink:

Haven't got 2000 loaded anywhere ATM. Works ok in XP; haven't tried in 2K3 (satisfied with XP), but one must assume this is a newer feature. Look in the 2000 Help to see if the feature even exists (may not)...

edit - Dang, looks like you may get a definitive answer real soon!!!

edit2 - just realized - Multiple Clipboards! Not in 2000, I don't think(?).

edit3 - found this (maybe works? refers to Office/Word 2000) -

Appears to be what you want, just works differently (more cumbersome).

edit4 - and Keyboard Shortcts info from MS -
