In Word, how to make it so selecting doesn't also select the newline characters?

Question

If I set my cursor in the middle of the line, then hit Shift+End, Word will select the carriage return and newline character too.

What settings would I need to change in Word 2013 in order to make it stop selecting before the newline and carriage return, instead of after them?

Answer 1

Here is a (not smart) solution:

1. Click the "Show paragraph marks" icon in the Home menu (looks almost like a pi symbol).
2. Position the cursor at the start of the words you want to select, eg start of a line.
3. Press Shift+End
4. Keep Shift down and press Voila - You can select with Ctrl+C

Answer 2

Sorry my answer abnove was spoiled during submit because of a "less than " sign and I cannot delete it.

In fact you don't need to use "Show paragraph marks".

All you need to do is

1. position cursor
2. Press Shift + End
3. Keep Shift down and press (Left arrow)
