Select specific pages with holding Ctrl in Word

Holding Ctrl key and select the pages one by one until all of the specific pages have been selected which may be the most general way for you. This way is simple but if there are hundreds of pages in the Word document, it will be time-consuming.

Select specific pages with Go To in Word

In Word, you can use Go To function to quickly go to the specific page, and then select it. Please get it done by following

steps: 1. Press Ctrl + G to open the Find and Replace dialog. Select Page from the Go to what list box, type the page number in the Enter page number box, and then click the Go To button. See screenshot:

Then it will go to the specific page immediately.

2. Click on the start of the specific page, then hold Shift button and click on the end of the page to select this page.

4. Repeat the above steps to select all of the specific pages. The same as the first method, this method is also wasting time when there are numerous pages needed to be selected. In this case, Kutools for Word's Select Pages may be the one you need.

What is it?

For example, say you have the following:

You want to quickly turn these into an unordered list in Markdown, which means placing a * followed by a space at the beginning of each line. You could do this manually, but Sublime Text makes it very easy to automate the task.

Adding lines to a multiple selection

Given this:

Follow these steps:

1. Place your cursor in front of Lorem.
2. Press Ctrl+Alt-Down if you're using Windows & Ctrl+Shift-Down if you're using a Mac. You'll see that the cursor stays in front of Lorem ipsum, but that it moves down & also appears in front of Dolor sit amet.
3. Press the key combination again 3 more times, so there is a cursor in front of each line.
4. Type * followed by a space. You'll see that what you type appears in front of each selected line.
5. When you're finsihed typing, press Esc to cancel the multiple selection.

You should now see this:

'I went too far!'

If you go down (or up too far) in your selection, press Esc to cancel & start over, or press Ctrl+U (Windows) or Command+U (Mac OS X) to undo the selection.

Select multiple instances of a word

What if you have several instances of a word that you want to change? Not every instance—for that, you'd use Find & Replace or the technique in the next section, 'Select all instances of a word'—but instead several instances. In those cases, follows these steps:

1. Place your cursor somewhere in or next to the word you wish to select.
2. Press Ctrl+D (Windows or Linux) or Command+D (Mac OS X) to highlight the entire word.
3. Press Ctrl+D (Windows or Linux) or Command+D (Mac OS X) to select the next instance of the word.
4. Repeat until you've selected the words you want to change.
5. If you go too far & select an instance of the word you don't want, press Ctrl+U (Windows or Linux) or Command+U (Mac OS X) to deselect that instance.
6. Type to replace the selected words with your changes.

Select all instances of a word

Select columns

Why select columns of text? An example will help. Recently I had this text:

I wanted to get rid of all the groups in each line except the 1st (drwx------+ in the first line) & the last (Desktop/ in the first line), leaving this:

Notice how everything lines up in neat columns. Because it does, it was easy to use column select to choose everything from 22 in the first line down to 11:45 in the bottom line & then nuke it.

To select text in columns, follow the steps appropriate to your pointing device below.

With a mouse that has a wheel:

1. While holding down the wheel, click & drag to select the columns of text.
2. Type to replace or remove the selected text.
3. Press Escape when you are finished.

With a mouse lacking a wheel, or a trackpad:
