The keyboard shortcut Ctrl + A or the ribbon command Home>Select>Select All should both select all text.

John is correct.
However, be aware that anything in a text box or in headers/footers or in footnotes will not be selected.
Hello John K...
YES Thank You so much for that...
I could not find it on the ribbon but instead searched for it instead in the search field...
HOW do I find it on the ribbon...

It is on the far right side. There is a drop-dow for Select.
