You probably get used to selecting text horizontally from left to right or right to left, for example, to format or copy it. For the left to right selection, click just before the beginning of a word, and while holding the mouse button down, drag to the end of the section that you want to highlight. For the right to left selection doing everything backwards achieves the same result. But what if you want to select a text vertically, for example, to apply some formatting to the first 2 words in the text of each line as on a picture? Here’s a handy tip.
You can select the text vertically. In order to do that, just hold down the <Alt> key on a keyboard whilst you are selecting the text as usually. You will get this result.
Now you can apply any formatting to it (here we selected Chicago font style).
Although in the example above we selected text at the beginning of the lines, you can make vertical selections anywhere on the page.

Dear Reader,
A year ago I embarked on the journey of blog writing. I knew that I would receive no remuneration for writing, only the opportunity to share my knowledge and experience, and create a web space for anyone interested in working efficiently.
It certainly was an adventurous journey! Starting on the Wordpress hosting, we soon moved to our own hosting server. We started sending biweekly e-newsletters, and introduced a wider range of topics than Microsoft Office.
We published 70 articles and tips on helping you to work effectively. As a result, we have more than 450 regular readers of our e-newsletter and it is growing every week. People who are searching for our tips and tricks coming not only from the United Kingdom, but also from other 86 countries including the Unites States, India, Canada and Australia. 75% of the visitors to our blog are unique.
Our most popular posts were:
So if you missed them here is your chance to read them again.
It was great to get your comments, messages and support. When we had problems with our blog hosting in April, some of you were impatient to receive your regular e-newsletter. J I almost lost my motivation to write then, and it is your regular messages to me enquiring on e-newsletter, which gave me the drive to start it again.
I would like to thank you all for your support! Without you this blog would disappear in the web of the Internet. I cannot express the impact comments you left have touched me. Thank you for your encouragement!
Yours truly,
