Default how to selectively highlight text in word


hey guys, i was wondering if anyone knew how to selectively highlight text in word?

what i mean is: when you left-click and drag on a sentence. then you've highlighted it and you can either change its font or size or whatever... you can also hold shift and left click...

HOWEVER, you CANNOT skip lines or every other word if you wanted to.. it will ONLY highlight the ENTIRE thing....

HOW do i SELECTIVELY highlight what i want to highlight in a text?

Cnyoon2,
I think you can. Highlight the first piece of text with the mouse, then hold down CTRL and highlight the second pice of text (some distance away) with the mouse. Then (with right-click) choose your formatting and Bob's your uncle.
