Select characters
Almost all Xara 3D Maker attributes (such as colors, bevels, textures, animation types) can be applied
character-by-character. (The exceptions are the shadow, the lighting and some animation types.) Before
you can apply an attribute to a character or block of characters, you must first select that character or
block.
First step is to display the text cursor. Click the show/hide
cursor button on the standard toolbar:
Then:

Use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move the cursor.

"Shift + left/right arrow keys" selects the character on the left or right.

"Ctrl + Shift + left/right arrow keys" selects all the characters from the cursor to the left or right of
the line.

"Ctrl + A" selects all characters.

"Ctrl + P" selects all characters on the current page (for multi-page animations.)
When you have a selected character or block, any changes you make apply only to that character or
block.
