Using F8 for Word Highlighting

In Word (all versions), the  F8 is one handy little key:

• pressed twice, it selects the word around (or touching) the cursor
• pressed three times it selects the whole sentence the cursor is sitting in
• pressed four times it selects the whole paragraph the cursor is sitting in
• pressed five times, it selects the whole document.
• Select odd amounts: position the cursor where you wish to begin, press F8 and then use the cursors to extend the selection.
• To escape from selecting selecting mode, press the Esc key.
