Before you can modify data in a document, you must select the data to which your commands will apply. For example, you can select several words that you want to make bold.
Use any of the following methods to select data:
To select... | Do this... |
A single character | Click the character. |
A word or number | Double-click any character in the word or number. |
A column or row | Click the column name or row number. |
All tasks in the schedule | In the action bar, click Edit and then in the pop-up menu, click Select All. |
Selected text appears highlighted.
When you click a command in the action bar or in a pop-up menu, your choice applies only to the data you selected. For example, when you click Cut in the action bar, only selected data is cut from the document.
Note If no data is selected, formatting commands like Bold act on new data you enter, until you click another command that turns off the original.
To deselect data, click anywhere outside the current selection.
