66 Working with Objects
Selecting multiple objects
Selecting more than one object at a time (creating a multiple selection) lets you:
• Position or resize all the objects at the same time.
• Create a group object from the multiple selection, which can then be
treated as a single object, with the option of restoring the individual
objects later. See Creating groups on p. 71.
To create a multiple selection:
• Drag a "marquee" box around the objects you want to select.
Alternatively, either hold down the Shift key and click each object in turn,
or use the Lasso Tool (p. 64) to draw around objects to select them.
To add or remove an object from a multiple selection:
• Hold down the Shift key and click the object to be added or removed.
To deselect all objects in a multiple selection:
• Click in a blank area of the page.
To select all objects on the page (or master page):
• Choose Select>Select All from the Edit menu (or press Ctrl+A).
