Mastering Text Selection in Apple Pages: Double-Click, Triple-Click, and More

Select Words, Sentences, and Paragraphs in a Flash

In Apple Pages, you don’t always need to drag your mouse or trackpad to select text. With a quick double-click or triple-click, you can highlight text instantly. A double-click selects a single word, while a triple-click highlights the entire paragraph—perfect for fast editing and formatting.

These shortcuts work in most Apple apps, like TextEdit, Mail, and Notes, but some apps may behave slightly differently depending on how they handle text. Keep this in mind, and you’ll be selecting words, sentences, and paragraphs in no time!
