Did you try this?
Load the following macro
Bind the select-next-paragraph to Ctrl+Alt+Shift+DownArrow
Bind the select-prev-paragraph to Ctrl+Alt+Shift+UpArrow
Pressing the key combination will select the next or previous paragraph, in the same fashion that the next/prev-paragraph commands traverse text.
