You missed 'I googled it to double check before I answered ' from your survey! :D
Bizzare, been doing it for years, but never knew it had a name!
Even God had to Google :DQuote:

I just used to think it was an error condition :)Quote:

Show me where is says
"To move to a postion, move mouse and click, to select a word, double-click, to select the whole paragraph, triple click"
in the manual :)

I have been using that since office 97.
I actually taught it to a teacher just yesterday.
Been doing it ages but didn't know it had a name too :)
As a Linux user, it's single click for me. Never understood this double click nonsense. :D
Also used it for years - more so in browser address bars than office, where I find it the easiest/quickest way to select the entire address line (after falling in the 15 click trap mentioned above and clicking too quickly past the initial click which selects all anyway... :)
I've voted "of course", although in reality I didn't know there was a name for it, just knew it was a quick way of highlighting a line of text!
Reading the title I thought "what?!" then realised it's what I've been doing for years without even thinking about it being 3 clicks :p
