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. 250.
To create a multiple selection:
• Drag a "marquee" box around the objects you want to select.
Alternatively, hold down the Shift key and click each object in turn, or use the
Lasso Tool (p. 227) to draw around objects to select them.
The last selected object is shown with a darker bounding box when
compared to other selected objects.
To add or remove objects 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 workspace.
To select all objects on the page (or master page):
• Choose Select All from the Edit menu (or press Ctrl+A).
