Selecting and deselecting information
You’ll often need to select and deselect text and objects in a paper in order to move
or change them. You can select all information or objects in a paper, or only specific
information or objects.
Once text and objects are selected, you can reformat, move, cut, copy, or delete
them. To continue working in a paper, you must then deselect the text and objects.
