Selecting With the Magic Box

Adding some functionality to the interface ...

"Here's a handy trick to kick off your weekend.

You've got a few columns of text in a Word document, separated by tabs. They're not in a table.

Now, you want to format just one of the columns without impacting the text in any of the other ones. Think you have to manually select and format every word in the column manually? Not so!

Or, perhaps click Copy to put the selected text on the clipboard."   continued ...   (Via Jensen Harris)
