Using the Selection Tool
The Selection tool is one of the most frequently used tools. You use the Selection tool when performing certain operations on objects you create, such as moving, formatting, resizing, or applying color.
To select an object:
|
|
Click the Selection tool, and click an object.
|
Selection handles appear around the object.
To select multiple objects, do one of the following:
|
|
Shift+click with the Selection tool.
|
|
|
Click outside the objects, and drag to surround the objects with a lasso.
|
To switch between the Selection tool and the Text tool:
|
|
Alt+click (Windows) or Option+click (Macintosh) anywhere in the
Title tool.

After you use a tool in the toolbar, the Title tool reverts to the Selection
tool, and the pointer becomes an arrow. To prevent a tool from
automatically reverting to the Selection tool, double-click the tool's icon.
