320 Chapter 13 Creating Your Arrangement
Selecting Parts of a Region
You can use the Marquee tool or marquee stripe to make selections inside, or across
portions of, existing regions. Within the selected area, you can perform almost all
Arrange editing options, including deletions, moves, cuts, and copies. The selected area
will become a new region once an operation is applied.
Using the Marquee Tool
The Marquee tool, which looks like a crosshair, allows you to select and edit parts of
one or more regions.
To use the Marquee tool:
1 Select the Marquee tool.
2 Click-hold on the Arrange area background or on regions to begin your selection,
which is indicated by a shaded selection rectangle.
3 Drag the marquee rectangle to make selections—independent of existing region
boundaries.
4 Release the mouse button.
Only the area that falls inside the marquee is selected.
To adjust an existing marquee selection:
m Hold Shift to alter the current marquee selection from either the left or right side, or up
or down.
