Easiest way for big files:

Ctrl + G, go to line 1000.
- Menu > Edit > Begin/End select.
Ctrl + G, go to line 1997.
- Menu > Edit > Begin/End select.

You now have your range selected with few clicks and no scroll.

There is no Begin/End select in the Edit Menu, probably an older verions – Dexters Sep 12 '14 at 15:46

@Dexters, I've just checked with the latest release (v6.6.9) and the option is there: http://oi62.tinypic.com/2rfczg4.jpg – António Almeida Sep 13 '14 at 10:38

you can right click at the line you want to start, select 'begin/end select'. Scroll to the line you want to end, right click, select 'begin/end select'. All lines in between will be highlighted. – gebuh Jul 16 '16 at 17:14

Try Menu => Search => Goto and enter the first line number. Next use Menu => Edit => Begin/End select. Then Goto the second line number and repeat the Begin/End select. Finally delete the selected area.

Place cursor on line 1000, scroll to line 1997 using the mouse / scroll bar.

Press and hold the shift key and then click on line 1997. This will select all the lines in between and you can then delete them.
