Second, if you’re like me and occasionally have multiple drafts of the same story running around, here’s an easy trick to differentiate them (in Office 2010 anyway):

Now you can tell at a glance which version you’re working on! And perhaps prevent eyestrain!
Finally, Control+Click selects a whole sentence at once.
