How do i change the shortcut for selecting words

I do a lot of word processing on both mac and windows. In windows i use


control shift arrow left/right: to select words


and


control shift arrow up/down: to select paragraphs.


On mac this works the same but i have to use the following


alt shift arrow left/right: to select words


and


alt shift arrow up/down: to select paragraphs.


This is confusing when switching a lot between mac and microsoft. Im constantly using the wrong shortcuts when on working on my mac.


How do I change these shortcuts on mac? What is the Menu Title to change these particular selection shortcuts?
