Keystrokes to select current paragraph of Word document

Selecting a paragraph using the keyboard:
You can use F8 to extend the selection to a sentence or paragraph. Press
once to select a word, twice to select a sentence, three times to select a
paragraph and so forth.

It may take a little time getting used to F8 because it brings you into
extended selection mode. You need to press ESC to return to normal selection
mode (the current selection remains even if you press ESC). Note that you can
use Shift+F8 to reduce the selection, e.g. from paragraph to sentence to word.

Selecting a paragraph using the mouse:
Triple-click in the paragraph or double-click in the left margin.

For an overview of shortcuts, see "Keyboard shortcuts" in Word's Help.
