Selecting a block of text in Microsoft Word

Have you ever tried selecting a rectangular block of text in Microsoft Word as shown below :



The trick is to press 'Alt' key and then select a piece of text. This enables you to select a rectangular block of text.

The selected text can be cut/copied in the usual way.

    I was using this feature for a long time but, since Microsoft has made Alt + Click the way to bring up the Task Pane, it is not working for me. I'm looking for a way to change the hot-key for either of them. Any ideas?
