How to "highlight" the entire text in a document..?

Question

Clicking & holding down on the mouse until all the text in the document is "highlighted" takes WAY too long. Sometimes, I want to change the text size or the font in a computer document or want to copy the entire text & I have to highlight all the text to do this.. and it takes too long if I have a large document. Is there anyway to highlight all the text in the document easily?? PLEASE help me!! =D
