In Word For Mac How To Select Objects

Posted on  by admin

I'm using Office 2010 Professional Plus 64-bit. I can't select multiple objects in Word 2010 either by shift-clicking, control-clicking, rubber-banding or using control-a in either the main work area or in the selection pane. There's no way to group objects or to make simultaneous canges to multiple objects.

If you do Select All (Command A) in Print Layout View, all objects become framed with the selection color and you can click on them to select them. However, you cannot select several object at once, because shift-clicking does not work. When you select an item from a list in Windows, you typically click the selection with your mouse to highlight it and then choose an option to process your selection, such as 'OK.' When you need to select more than one item from the list, you can use the Ctrl or Shift key when you click to select items.

You can select multiple objects (by dragging a rectangle over them) in Word 2010 by creating these objects in a drawing canvas. You can create one by selecting INSERT ribbon and then clicking on shapes and you can find the option at the bottom of the menu. Alternatively, if you want that drawing canvas should be always creating when you insert drawing objects, then you can go to Word options by select FILE ribbon. In the options dialog, click on ADVANCED option and then CHECK the 'Automatically create drawing canvas when inserting AutoShapes' option in EDITING OPTIONS group. Hope that your please is solved. Please report it immediately.

Hi Cindy Just stumbled across this thread with same issue - selecting multiple objects in Word 2010 and -thought not normally given to ranting and raving! - am so fed up with Microsoft for what they have done to Drawing Tools since Word 2000. It used to work fine - no Drawing Canvas - no problems selecting Text and Drawing objects etc etc - (and I used to use it a lot) - now I have to use it sparingly since it makes see red! It is sooooo horrible. As a Word MVP don't you feel the same? Hi Jack I'm more a data than a graphics oriented person, so I perhaps don't feel the pain with this particular feature as much as you do. My 'pet peeve' is mail merge, which was better in Word Perfect for DOS than it's ever been in Word.
