Multiple select using Command on Mac is gone

Can someone explain (or suggest a fix) for why I can't multiple-select paragraphs using Control-Click on Mac ? I'm on the latest software and it's very frustrating as we use it to do our word counts from client's voice over scripts.  Can't see anything in the preferences to indicate a change.

Hi All,

The issue has been fixed in the Insider Fast version 15.40(170926) which isn't released.

To get on the Fast level, click Help > Check for Updates > Join the Office Insider program to get early access to new releases > Office Insider Fast.  For details, you may check What is Office Insider?

Regards,

Felix

    I think if you wait a few days the fix will come in this week's update. If you don't have automatic updates installed, on Wednesday, use the Help menu and choose Check for Updates. It's not a promise, but judging from the number of people reporting this I expect that Microsoft will fix it promptly.

    Hi Big Mouth Media,

    Thanks for your post.

    Please confirm if "the latest software" you mentioned is 15.38.0 (Word>About Word).

    Moreover, please reproduce the situation and capture a video to help understand it. You can share it via Private Message.

    Regards,

    My apologies - it was actually Command I was using, and the current behaviour is that it will select the next section (paragraph in this case) but will unselect the first paragraph I'd chosen.

    Still the same issue.
