Free text selection in Microsoft Word
Authored by: RussellK on Fri, Aug 18 2006 at 6:26AM PDT

Okay...now I understand what the "free text selection" is all about (being able to select a block of text as described).

But, I still don't follow the key combo. I can do the free text selection block using just the option (alt) key. What does also holding down the command (apple) key add?
