You can also select text by using the following methods:
Cutting, copying, and pasting text
Once you’ve selected text, you can cut or copy it to the Clipboard and paste
it elsewhere in the document (or in a different document or frame). See
“Cutting, copying, and pasting” on page 3-10.
Tip To move text quickly, select the text you want to move, hold down
2-Option, and then click where you want to move the text.
You can also move text between documents, applications, and the desktop
using drag and drop. See “Copying objects using the drag and drop feature”
on page 3-10.
Showing formatting characters
When you press certain keys, such as the Space bar or Tab or Return, you
place special characters in your document, called formatting characters, that
contain instructions for formatting your text.
AppleWorks is preset to hide formatting characters. However, it may be
easier to edit with formatting characters visible. For example, you can find
where you typed two spaces together (where you want only one), and then
delete the extra space.
To Do this
Select a word Click twice on the word.
Select a line Place the pointer in the line and click three times.
Select a paragraph Place the pointer in the paragraph and click four
times.
Extend a selected range of text Hold down the Shift key, move the pointer, and

Select a text frame as an object Select the arrow pointer and click the text frame.
(When you select a text frame as an object, you
can change the appearance of the text inside.
Changes you make while a text frame is selected
affect all the text in the frame.)
