Word 2003, Select a block of text. How?

[Knut Willy]

A word 2003 document where I want to select a 'block' of text in order to
copy it in somewhere else.
How do I mark such a 'block' ?

I assume you know how to select text in general, so there are two possible
interpretations of "block":

1. If you mean a large portion of text that requires scrolling the screen,
click at one end of the desired selection, use the scroll bar to bring the
other end in view, and Shift+click there.

2. If you mean a vertical column portion of a wider block of text, use
Alt+drag to select it.
