You see a few items in a Microsoft Word 2007 column and want to copy or move it somewhere else. But the cursor wants to select the remaining text in that line, as well as the entire next line of text. All you want is just a select block of text, nothing to the left or right of the block, and not entire lines of text that usually follow the normal selection of text. Here’s a quick tip to selecting the text in the tab column only.

Click the mouse on the beginning of the text you want, and then hold down the Shift and Alt keys at the same time. Now move the mouse to the end of the text you want. The selected area is shaded blue.Now all you have to do is cut or copy it to another place on the page, document or a different document.

Try it where you have Microsoft Word columns created from tabs and want to copy, move or delete a tab column.
