Selecting

Before carrying out most editing tasks, a selection must be made. For example, if you want to change the typeface of some text, or make a copy of it, the text must first be selected.

Writer shows that something is selected by highlighting it.

The Document

Note: Dragging across all the text in a paragraph does not select the paragraph. It is equivalent to a text selection covering the entire paragraph with the exception of the final return character.

Intelligent Drag & Drop, Cut & Paste and Delete

  1. If a word is selected by double-clicking Cut, Backspace and Delete automatically remove the spaces on either side as necessary as does Drag and Drop. Similarly if the word is inserted using Paste or Insert into another part of the document the spaces are automatically added where required.
  2. Words selected by double-clicking will automatically have surplus spaces removed when you press Delete.
