Using Word 2000, is there a way to select multiple text areas but not
allow the text in between to get selected.
Fir instance, in the following text, I would only like to select the
two titles Title A, and Title B so I can change them simultaneously
without having to do them individually. This is a feature that should
have been available 10 years ago or am I missing the secret way.
Example.
Title A:
Xxxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxxxxxx
Title B:
Xxxxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxx
Here are the capabilities in the word 2000 program. None of them seem
to specify what I want.

To select Do this
Any amount of text Drag over the text.
A word Double-click the word.
A graphic Click the graphic.
A line of text Move the pointer to the left of the line until it
changes to a right-pointing arrow, and then click.
Multiple lines of text Move the pointer to the left of the lines until

drag up or down.
A large block of text Click at the start of the selection, scroll to
the end of the selection, and then hold down SHIFT and click.
An entire document Move the pointer to the left of any document text
until it changes to a right-pointing arrow, and then triple-click.

View menu; in print layout view, double-click the dimmed header or
footer text.
Move the pointer to the left of the header or footer until it changes
to a right-pointing arrow, and then triple-click.
Comments, footnotes, and endnotes Click in the pane, move the pointer
to the left of the text until it changes to a right-pointing arrow,
and then triple-click.
A vertical block of text (except within a table cell) Hold down ALT,
and then drag over the text.
