Selecting sections

[Guest]

Hello,

I do quite a lot of document amalgamation where I need to select an entire
section from document and either move it within a document or copy it to
another document.

Is there a keyboard shortcut or a quick method of selecting a section within
a document.

Create a macro that you assign to the keyboard that contains the command

Selection.Sections(1).Range.Select

When you run that macro, it will select the section in which the selection
is located.

There's a built in \Section bookmark:

Insert/Bookmark. Type \Section then click GoTo to select the current section.

You can combine that with Edit/GoTo (F5) if you need to jump to the section
first.

If each section starts with a Heading (or another paragraph with an Outline
level) you could also use the Outline view. Click on the "+" next to the
heading and it should select all the text to the next heading of the same level
(which would be the entire section).

Hi Mark
You could try browsing by selection (Ctrl+Alt+Home and select Section). Use
mouse or Ctrl+PgUp/Ctrl+Down to go to beginning of the selection that you
want to copy or move. Press F8 (extend selection) then Ctrl+PgDown to select
that selection.

Hope this helps
