Operation Manual

52 Manipulating Objects
To select a text object with the Pointer Tool:
• Clicking on a text object (artistic text or text frame) with the
Pointer Tool selects the object and also positions the blinking
text selection cursor within the object's text. In this mode, you
can edit the text (see p. 82).
• Double-, triple-, or quadruple-click to select a word, paragraph,
or all text.
• To select only the text frame, click the frame's bounding box.
• Clicking on a group selects the grouped object. Ctrl-click to
select an individual object within a group.
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. 53.
To create a multiple selection:
• Drag a "marquee" box around the objects you want to select.
