Chris26 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Hallo, I thought this would be so simple to discove,r but alas, can not find the answer on help nor on forum previous topics. I want to select multiple text accross many linked text frames, that's it. Can not believe that it is not obvious? Sorry.

Don't forget to make multiple copies of your front door key and post them to all who demand access to all the doors inside your home including the windows and outside shed.

Ah the front door key is yours and it only needs to open the front door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickRose Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Its working fine for me here, unless I'm missing the point. I just use the text cursor to select the text. Quote Windows 10 Pro, I5 3.3G PC 16G RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris26 Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Hallo Mick, thanks, just found it, I clicked 5 times to select everything......Mmmm...should not have stopped at 4 times, one extra click and it worked. Dragging never seemed to work, but after reducing size of pages to in view it then worked albeit awkwardly. Thankyou.

mac_heibu Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Or: Place the cursor at the beginning of the intended selection, then shift-click to the intended end of the selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris26 Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 That was the very first thing I did before seeking the help manual then posting here. Neither shift click nor ctrl click works. It only selects one text frame. 5 clicks selects all the text frames or minimize the pages and click drag to the bottom of the computer screen are the only two ways to select all text in all the linked text frames.

mac_heibu Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Could you be a little bit more precise? You are writing „text frames“. Do you really mean „text frames“ or are you talking about the content of these frames (= the text itself). In other words: Did you select the frames or the text?
