... Where can I find in word 2007 the ext function which is so helpful for deleting large texts? Thank you The Extend Selection function is no longer available on the status bar in Word 2007. However, you can press F8 to invoke Extend Selection. After you press F8 you'll see "Extend Selection" appear in the status bar and you can click the button or press ESC to turn Extend Selection off. You can also add Extend Selection to your Quick Access Toolbar: - Right-click your Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) and click Customize QAT - From "Choose commands from" select "Commands not in the Ribbon" - In the list of available commands locate "Extend Selection", select it, and then click Add to add it to your QAT -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...295841033.aspx |

Thank you As in previous versions, use one or more presses of the F8 key to turn on Extended Selection Mode and to extend to the next word, sentence, paragraph, or story; or press F8 once and then press any letter, number, or punctuation key to extend to the next occurrence of that character. The permanent clickable display of EXT in the status bar is gone, but you can still get an indication of whether extended selection is active. Right-click the status bar; in the popup menu, put a check mark on "Selection Mode". When extended selection is active, the status bar will say "Extend Selection", and clicking that will turn off the mode (same as pressing ESC). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Thank you very much both Jay and Beth: this is exactly what I was looking
for! Consider returning it to the next version. The function is very useful for long texts. By the way, why is the date so complicated to insert? Hadara "Hadara" wrote: Where can I find in word 2007 the ext function which is so helpful for deleting large texts? Thank you |
