How can I activate Ctrl for multiple selection?

Hi,

I was always using the multiple selection with Ctrl & mouse. Today it was
inactivated ( I don't know why). I can do other commands with Ctrl like
selecting one sentence but not multiple selection. The Word I am using is
2000 version.

Please help with this.

Thanks a lot,
Victoria

I believe this feature (noncontiguous selection) was introduced in Word
2002.

Hi Suzanne,

I think it is also in 2000 word as I am using this version one year now and
I use this option of multiple selection. I use it also in 1998 Word in my
office. Maybe I changed something today as I was trying to change some
settings in the bullets and numbering but I do not know what happened and
how. It just doesn't work.

Suzanne is correct, multiple non-contiguous selection was NOT available in
Word 2000. It was introduced with Office XP. It may have worked with Office
98 for MAC but not in Office for Windows.

I did wonder. I searched those training docs we got for Word 2000 (my *only*
experience with that version) and found no mention of it, and I was pretty
sure it hadn't already been in Word 97.

Yes. Try making some non-contiguous selections by selecting a paragraph,
then selecting other non-contiguous paragraphs by holding down the Ctrl Key
when selecting. Now paste into a new document. Did it copy and paste all
selected paragraphs?
