Selecting Text
To select a word
Double-click it.
(Click it twice in rapid succession.)
To select a paragraph
Triple-click it.
(In some applications, like Firefox or Preview, triple-clicking selects a line of text.)
To select a block of text
Click the start position, then hold the SHIFT key and click where at the end the area you want to select. This doesn't just work in text you are writing. It also works with text you are reading, like a web page in Safari, or an email in Mail.app.
