Multiple select using Command on Mac is gone

Question

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?

Answer 2

As of this moment, this week's updates have not yet been released. Should be any time now, but there is never a firm promise when it comes to delivery dates and times.

Answer 3

Is there an update on this? It's very frustrating not to have this function.

Answer 4

Workaround:

Install 15.37 version(Update history for Office 2016 for Mac .)

...

The only option for the 15.37 version on that link seems to be for the Volume License. I'm using Office 365. Is there a workaround or fix for this? Thanks.
