Steps for selecting text using the keyboard:

Using the arrow keys, you can move the text cursor around your document, until reaching the desired starting location for the selection.
Pressing down the [Shift] key while moving with the arrows, will select a specific region. Clicking on an arrow key alone (without the [Shift] key) will cancel any selection made.


Selecting rows using the keyboard:
1. Click the [Home] key. This will make the text cursor jump to the beginning of the row.
2. Press and hold down the [Shift] key while clicking the arrow pointing down key.
Repeatedly pressing the arrow down key will select more rows.


Quickly selecting the whole document:
Press the [Ctrl] key together with the [A] key.
(“A” can stand for the word All).

You can cancel any selection by simply clicking an arrow key. Pressing the “arrow up” key will bring the text cursor to the beginning of the selected region, while the “arrow down” key will bring the text cursor to the end of the selected region.
