Explanation: The EXT indicator on the status bar of MS Word shows whether the "Extended Selection" mode is turned on or off. This mode changes how the cursor behaves when you click and drag, allowing you to select text more precisely. So, if you see the EXT indicator on the status bar, it means that this mode is turned on. You can turn off this mode by either clicking on the EXT indicator or pressing the F8 key on your keyboard.
