How do you highlight text

  • I asked a friend locally by e-mail how to insert a hyperlink into a page on Word Press. He told me to highlight the text of the link as in any text editor and then click the chain icon at the top of the window.

    I do not know how to highlight text in a text editor. I have done so by accident on a number of occasions but did not recall how I did it. Even if I did, the starting points for the highlighted text appear to me to be random.

    This may sound like a stupid question, but could someone tell me how to highlight text in Word Press?

  • There are no stupid questions gechmas ??

    If you’re using a mouse:
    – click at the beginning of the text you want to highlight
    – keep the mouse button down and move the mouse to the end of the text you want to highlight

    Tada! Highlighted text.

    If you’re on a laptop, it’s a little trickier to do using a touchpad. You CAN use the same technique but it might be easier to use the keyboard:
    – use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the beginning of the text you want to highlight
    – hold down the shift key
    – keeping the shift key down, use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the end of the text
