Select multiple non-consecutive words in Word 2004
What am I missing here? It has been a feature of Apple/Windows ever since their inception as a way to select non-contiguous areas - you use the command or control key. This isn't a hint - it's a real beginner point which I teach in my introductory Windows XP classes, as well as intro MAC OSX classes. If you don't know how to use shift to select contiguous areas or ctl/cmd to select non-contiguous areas, you need to go back and read the very basic intro to XP/OSX/Word texts.

I don't have a Tiger box here in front of me to test, but I can tell you that in TextEdit v1.3 on 10.3.9 (and TextWrangler, since I have it open) the instant you press down on the mouse button, even with the command key pressed, the currently selected text is deselected. That has been the default text selection behavior for over 20 years. Has Tiger changed this basic behavior?

I get pretty tired of reading people making comments like you've made on this hint. This may not be a HINT to you, but it is certainly going to be a HINT to someone. Just because you teach it in your beginning class doesn't mean it's not worth sharing in this forum.
