How do you highlight a specific word in notepad?

Select Text in Notepad To quickly select a single word, double-click the word. If you prefer to use the keyboard, hold the Shift key and use the arrow keys to select text in any direction. Hold Ctrl and Shift while pressing the left or right arrow key to select one word at a time instead of a space at a time.
