Word 4 select all?

Most word processors have a select all command, which is very useful
for changing elements of a document once it is already written.

Is there any way to do this in Word 4?  As a college student, I find
this is one of the things I use most, to, umm...., adjust the length
of papers through creative font resizing and respacing.  But in order
to change the font on a 10 or 12 page paper, the only way seems to be
to scroll through the whole thing, mouse-highlighting it, and then
change the font.

I hope I'm missing a simple and obvious way to do this, but if not, is
there a less-simple, less-obvious way to do this?  Does Word 5 have
a select all command?  (since I missed the free upgrade period by less
than a month, I'm not too eager to pay to upgrade, but I might
consider it if it were worth it....)

Thanks for any help you can give me!
