How to select multiple parts of the text?

How do I select multiple parts of the text?

Copy, cut, format, delete parts of the text in different areas of the document:

1. Hold Ctrl while making the selection in the usual way.
2. Release all keys
3. Place cursor at the beginning of the next desired selection.
4. Hold Ctrl while making the selection in the usual way.
5. Release all keys.

Repeat steps 3 - 5 until all desired parts of text are selected.

Another method exists - the "lazy" one (don't feel about holding [Ctrl] over 150 pages!):

• Click once on the field "STD" (STanDard) in the status bar
• The field shows now "EXT" (EXTended selection)
• Another click and it goes to "ADD" (ADD to selection).

-> the ADD mode has the same function than [Ctrl] + click
and EXT the same function than [Shift]+click.
