How do I highlight non-contiguous text on pages?

I've tried on pages using the command key, the alt key, the control key. None of them wil let me highlight texts from different parts of a document at the sametime. Does anyone know how to do this?

It always helps to say what version of the software you are using, so we don't have to guess.
It sounds like you are using Pages 5 because Apple removed this along with about 100 other features.
Use Pages '09 if you have it.

  • Selecting non-contiguous text in Safari

    I cannot find a way to select non-contiguous text in Safari.
    Select>Command>select does not work (as it does in Text Edit.
    I am very surprised that I can't locate any information on this via google, yahoo, etc.
    The only item I did find is something called "Safari Magic" but it looks pretty old and costs $19.
    So here I am hoping to get "truth" from the source (or any kind person).
    I'm in Snow Leopard; Safari 5.1.5.
    Thanks.

    Thanks. I hadn't explored Safari's Extensions (only Firefox's). Your was a good suggestion. Alas - and to my absolute consternation - nothing for selecting non-contiguous text.

    Thanks. And as I alluded to Carolyn...this is really odd and frustrating. Not just that this functionality does not exist in an Apple application while it does in other Apple apps, but also that there does not appear to be any Extensions directed at this function.
    Can I be the only person in the world who selects and copies random or non-contiguous text from web sites?

  • How can I sequence non-threaded text frames for localization?

    Is there any way to sequence non-threaded text frames? I want the text to appear in order in SDL (translation software).
    Thanks all. RR

    Last time I checked, the Articles tool only affected reading order in PDF. I know of no translation tools that consistently do a good job harvesting text from PDFs, and SDL's tools only accept IDML. TextStitch is useful because you can just let it auto-stitch the whole document if all frames should be read in a top-down, left-right order.
    However, StoryCollector and other SDL tools also collect frames in that order. So, using the QuickStitch function of TextStitch, you can rapidly thread all the frames in a document. Note that you will want to ungroup any group that contains a text frame before you begin - TextStitch gives you visual feedback, "blackening" frames that are going to be included in the threaded story, but it doesn't black out threaded frames in groups, so if you want to be able to see what you are doing, then you'll have to ungroup.

  • How to remove highlighted word ads on web pages. Tried everything

    Hi everyone. Haviing a problem with highlighted words ads on web pages. Tried everything. Went safari / preferences / extensions. Removed everything. The problem remains. Can anyone help me on this one?

    you may have Genieo installed
    see
    http://www.genieo.com/faq/#q20
    Note that, if Genieo is installed, using the recommendations that Genieo themselves provide on that page will not remove it. They cannot be trusted, and their uninstaller is known not to remove everything. Proper Genieo removal instructions can be found in my Adware Removal Guide.
    I don't believe this is a Genieo problem, though. Genieo usually just hijacks the search engine. It doesn't cause the random underlined words that cause ads to pop up. That's going to be caused by some other adware, probably also described in my Adware Removal Guide.

  • How to change highlight color of PDF texts to the standard golden yellow on Preview app?

    I use the Preview app to read my PDF books. I also read these same books on my iPad. When I read my books, I like to highlight the text. I'm used to highlight my text with the standard golden yellow on my iPad. When I use Preview, the only choice of yellow color I've found is a somewhat orange yellow that's called "yellow". Besides that, I see only 5 highlight options. Anyway, I'd like to highlight my text on Preview with the standard golden yellow, the same color that is available in almost all PDF editing apps. Anyway, how can I highlight my pdf texts with the standard golden yellow on the Mac Preview app?!

    Here is a picture to show the difference between the standard golden yellow (above) and the mac preview called yellow (below - looks like orange to me).
    Is there a way to highlight the pdf texts on Preview app in the golden yellow color, shown above?
