To Select text
and graphics
You can select text and graphics by using the mouse
or the keyboard, including items that aren't next to each other. For example,
you can select a paragraph on page one and a sentence on page three.
Microsoft Word provides additional methods for
selecting items in a table, drawing objects, or text in outline view (outline view: A view that shows the headings of a
document indented to represent their level in the document's structure. You can
also use outline view to work with master documents.).
Select
items that aren't next to each other
- Select the first
item you want, such as a table cell (cell: A box formed
by the intersection of a row and column in a worksheet or a table, in
which you enter information.) or paragraph.
- Hold down CTRL.
- Select any
additional items you want while continuing to hold CTRL.
Note You
can only select multiple objects of the same type, such as two or more text
selections or two or more floating (floating object: A
graphic or other object that is inserted in the drawing layer so that you can
position it precisely on the page or in front of or behind text or other
objects.) graphics,
that aren't next to each other.
