Question

In MS Word 2019, if you want to select an entire paragraph quickly, which of the following actions should you perform?

A.

Press and hold Alt while clicking the paragraph.

B.

Right-click and choose 'Paragraph' from the available menu options.

C.

Triple-click on any word within the paragraph.

D.

Double-click anywhere in the paragraph.

Correct option is C

The correct answer is: (C) Triple-click on any word within the paragraph

Explanation:
  • In MS Word 2019, triple-clicking on any word within a paragraph selects the entire paragraph quickly.

  • This is a built-in mouse shortcut designed for efficient text editing and formatting.

  • It works regardless of where in the paragraph you click, making it a fast way to highlight long or multi-line content.

Information Booster:
  • Double-click selects a single word.

  • Triple-click selects the entire paragraph.

  • Ctrl + A selects the entire document.

  • Shift + ↓ or ↑ allows manual line-by-line selection using the keyboard.

You can also click once in the left margin beside the paragraph to select it with the pointer cursor.

Additional Knowledge:
  • Option A (Alt + click) is used for column selection in certain layouts, not paragraph selection.

  • Option B (Right-click and 'Paragraph') opens the paragraph formatting dialog, not for selecting content.

  • Option D (Double-click) only selects a single word, not the full paragraph.

  • Efficient selection techniques help in faster formatting, copying, and editing, especially in long documents.
