There are a few ways. You can drag across the paragraph. You can use the Shift and cursor keys to select it. You can repeatedly click the paragraph (in the middle) until it highlights all of it. It will take a triple click.You can also put the cursor in the margin area until the pointer changes to an arrow pointing up and right. Then double click. A single click will have selected a line. A third click will select the entire document.

∙ 13y agoIt's actually very simple! Start at the bottom of the paragraph, the very last word and double click. Then you drag your cursor across the whole paragraph. It should be highlighted, if not you probably clicked while highlighting! Now, you can whatever you want, such as cut, change font, change size, etc.
Hope this helps!
or you can just triple click the paragraph.
single click-you are just placing the insertion point
double click-you are selecting a word
triple click- you are selecting the entire paragraph
[Ctrl] + [A] - you select the entire document (on a windows computer)

∙ 8y agoNo. If you just have the cursor in the paragraph, without selecting anything at all, it can apply paragraph formatting to that paragraph. Paragraph formatting is something that can apply to a whole paragraph only, like alignment. Word knows you are applying a paragraph setting, so it applies it to the whole paragraph even if it not selected. A paragraph setting can never be applied to part of a paragraph, so once the cursor is in the paragraph, any paragraph setting can be applied without selecting. Things like changing the font size is not a paragraph setting, so the whole paragraph would need to be selected to do that kind of formatting.
