You can now select multiple items in Word that are not next to each other. First select or highlight the first item you want, such as a paragraph, sentence or word. Then hold down the CTRL key and select the other items you wish. This feature is
useful if you want to perform the same task on multiple items, such
as delete them or change their formatting making them Bold.
