    How To Select Multiple Areas Of Text


    I'm looking for a way to select a few lines of text, or just a few words, and then select another line/word somewhere else in the same paragraph.

    What it should look like

    If my explanation didn't make sense, then the question here is literally what I'm looking for.

    I'm aware that some programs like word and firefox allow you to do this, but I'm looking for a more universal method.

    If no native Windows method exists, then if there's a script or a program that I can download to make this work, then please tell me of it.

    :)

    List of tooltip texts

    • Do not translate the IDS_ strings, only what's inside the "s
    • \n is a newline character that acts like "return" is pressed. so text\n\ntext2 adds a blank line between "text" and "text2"
    • %s is replaced by some inserted text, you may move the %s to other positions within the text, but if multiple %s are present they will be inserted in the same order in all languages
