Selecting objects

If you want to edit an object, you must first select it. For most types of objects, it is sufficient to simply click on the desired object. A frame will then appear around the object to indicate that it is selected.

Note: For objects that are filled with text (for example, text frames), you must click on the border in order to select the object.

To select several objects at once, use the mouse to draw a frame around the desired objects. Alternatively, you can click successively on several objects while holding down the Shift keyñ to select them together.

Tip: Use the ribbon command Home | Select all select_all_icon to select all objects.
