I am doing some langauge translations of an old HTML website so I am just pasting the new translations from a word document into the old files. So I have to select everything between the tags (h2,p,li, etc) and then paste the new text in... from a word file. For selecting everything in between p tags I have to select one side of the inside tag then hold shift then select the next side to highlight everything... my fingers are getting really tired, and I got 40 files (pages) total with 3 languages to do.

Is there a shortcut in Notepad++ to select everything between two tags (like when you double click a word it selects the whole word).

<p>This is some English that needs to be translated here. 
I want to just click in this area to select all of this 
text between these two paragraph tags.</p>
<p>This would be another block of translation to do</p>
<ul>
    <li>I want to click here and select everything between the li tags</li>
</ul>
