Customized Highlighting in Word

Have you ever found it annoying that MS Word highlights text in lines? That is, it moves the highlight through the document one line at a time.

Ever wish you could just create a quick rectangle at any location and copy only whats in the rectangle? You know, maybe the first half of many lines of text or the middle of a paragraph.

The good news is you can do that with just one extra key!

Instead of the old click, hold and drag to highlight, try Alt + click, hold and drag.

You will find that you can highlight any shape of rectangle you wish.

Once you release the mouse button, youll be able to copy, cut, format and whatever else you need to do, just like always.

Its highlighting freedom like you never imagined possible!
