You can select a word in a rectangle by double-clicking on it.
You can select all of the text in a rectangle by clicking in the rectangle and then choosing “Select All” from the Edit menu.
In the Relation window, you can point to the side of a group of icons, press the mouse button, drag the mouse to draw a “selection rectangle” that disappears when the button is released. All icons falling within this rectangle will become selected, and then may simultaneously be moved, opened, or duplicated.
Many commands on the View and Edit menus can be activated by holding down the command key and then pressing a letter key. The commands possessing this feature show the command key symbol and letter to the right of the command name on the menu.
On the Template, multiple rectangles can be moved at once by first surrounding them with a Border rectangle, and then dragging the Border rectangle to a new location. After positioning is complete, the Border rectangle may then be removed by closing it.
