marking text

[Axel]

Is there a way to mark / highlight multiple pages of text without using the
mouse to scroll through the pages?

Hold down SHIFT and use PgUp,PgDn, Home, End and arrow nav keys.

Hi Mike:

When I want to hilight a block of text, on one or many
pages, I left-click at the start of the block and shift-
left-click at the end of the block. I found that I have
more control over what to hilight. How is your procedure
different then this one or are the two procedures
essentially the same?

Thanks
Jerry

Basically the same - one gives a progressive indication of the selected
rangfe, the other starts with the two end-points.
