For many editing and formatting functions in KWord, you will want to perform a certain action (bold face, underline,etc.) to a certain section of text, not the document as a whole. You specify which text you want by selecting (highlighting) text.
Selected text has a dark background to seperate it from unselected text. You select text by designating a start and an end point. All the text in between the start and end point is selected text.
