Word 5 uses command-a. Earlier versions used command-option-m. I don't  
remember right now whether the change came with Word 4 or with Word 5.

It is possible to customize the menus in Word and add commands such as  
"select all" to the menu of your choice. I think it is in the default Edit  
menu in Word 5, but I remember customizing earlier releases by adding the  
command-option-m "select all" command to the edit menu. Choose the  
"Commands..." menu item in whatever menu it's in (varies with the version,  
I think) and find a scrolling list of all the commands in Word, which you  
may execute on the spot or add to the menu of your choice.
