How do I select multiple text in Pages

I'm using the newest version of pages.
In MS office WORD, I can hold the Ctrl key and with multiple klick in the text I can select multiple text.
Does pages has the similar function?

Not possible in Pages 5.2.2, this has been removed by Apple along with 110 features.
In Pages '09 you hold down the command key, the exact same equivalent as in Word for Windows.

  • How do I select multiple images in pages

    In Apple works drawing it was simple to select several images by click and dragging a box over some images and they were all selected at the same time. Now I only get a pointer arrow when over an object at all other times I get an I bar. Am I missing something?

    Thanks Peter,
    That works fine , however as it was simpler in Apple Works with only one hand needed, I had wondered if it could be done in pages. I still have Apple Works on a desktop and it is a pleasure using it for class room posters and the like. Pity was that pages (which I love) does not have all the functionality that AW had

  • Selecting multiple objects in Pages '09

    Hi everybody,
    I was just wondering how to easily select multiple objects in Pages, as in Keynote. I mean, in Keynote you can just drag the mouse over the objects you want to select, and that's it. But in Pages I haven't be able to do that (not even with option or command keys), so I have to press shift and click on every object I want to select. This is quite tedious when you want to select many objects.
    Any help on that?
    Thanks,
    Rodrigo

    Thanks to both, I already sent my feedback to Apple, and I really hope that iWork X comes out soon, with more wonderful features.
    I have tried fruhulda's advice and it works, my thanks for that! My question now is: Why Apple doesn't provide any help on that? I knew that cmd-A selected all the floating objects on the document, but I needed to select only a few of them. That was the only Keynote feature I was missing (apart from the themes, with all those predefined colors, backgrounds, textures...).
    So thank you!

  • How do I make multiple text bold, for example scene headings or character names?

    How do I make multiple text bold, for example scene headings or character names?

    You can do that by editing the template of the document.
    Open the document, go to Edit->Template. A dialog will launch which will have element types on the left and it's properties on the right.
    Select Scene Heading(or Character name) on the left. On the right, go to 'Text' tab and click on Bold checkbox.
    Press OK.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • How do I select multiple columns in a recordset

    I am very new to Dreamweaver/PHP/MYSQL
    I have created my recordset but I cant work out how I select multiple columns.
    How do I select multiple columns, I want to search for data that is spread over different columns.
    My recordset looks like this just now.
    SELECT *
    FROM names
    WHERE nameone = john
    I have 11 columns where the name john my or may not appear so how would I select all the columns. What would the recordset look like.
    As I have said I,m very new to this  and forgive me if what i have just said makes no sense.
    Thanks

    >I have 11 columns where the name john my
    >or may not appear so how would I select all
    >the columns. What would the recordset look like.
    You could try a Full-Text search (if mysql supports it) but on the surface, this sounds like a badly designed data structure. What does your database and table design look like?

  • Cannot select multiple text items simultaneously

    Since upgrading to the latest Pages, I can no longer select multiple letters/words by holding down command. I used to use this to edit multiple things (titles, for example) all at once (make bold, underlined, italicized, larger font, coloured, etc.). Now, however, I have to select each letter/word one at a time and edit them individually.
    Is this just a bug or is there a new way of selecting multiple text characters simultaneously for editing?
    Thanks!

    There is no fix by any means.
    Switching from Word to Pages v5 (any release) is like giving up oxygen for a vacuum. The time that you will expend searching for feature/functionality omissions in Pages v5 that you had in MS Word will just suck the life out of you.

  • How can I print multiple photos per page?  It was simple in earlier versions of iPhoto.

    How can I print multiple photos per page?  It was simple in earlier versions of iPhoto.

    Do you want to print several different photos per page or multiples of the same photo?
    If you want to print several different photos,select them all at once and press command-P for "Print".  Pick the Custom Layout and adjust the photo size suitably.
    If you want multiples of the same photo, duplicate the photo several times and select all copies at once, then press command-P.

    I want to make sure all text in my document is a particular font (at least), but Cmd+a only selects any text that is not in a table. There seems to be no way to include text in tables, or even a way to change the format of all text in a particular table (MS Word allows the whole table to be highlighted for example).
    A double click in a cell selects it so you may enter what you wish in it.
    Select the cell A1 then, pressing the shift key, click in the right-bottom cell.
    Doing that you will get every table's cells selected which gives the ability to apply global attributes.
    I've searched the built-in help and found "To select all text in a document, choose Edit > Select All." This does not work as tables are excluded from this selection. If tried some of the other suggestions, such as holding down shift while selecting text in tables, but as soon as I get to the end of the text in one cell, the selection disappears.
    My guess is that some words are missing in the Help. Select All selects all the text … of the text layer.
    We must apply the settings to the text layer, to each text box, to each table.
    Of course, you may _Go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu_, describe what you wish.
    Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'09

  • Select Multiple Text Areas

    How can you select multiple (but separate) lines of text? In
    most other programs shift lets you select from one point to
    another, and control lets you pick different points within the text
    body. Is dreamweaver capable of this?

    DW only allows discontiguous selections for table cells and
    position:absolute elements.

  • How do you select multiple files to drag

    Open the folder which has the contents you want to transfer.  Press COMMAND 'A' and then all of the data should be highlited in blue.  Drag it to the new folder.

  • How do you select multiple messages/conversations on SMS/MMS to forward or save to memory card on Samsung Stratosphere?

    How do you select multiple messages/conversations on SMS/MMS to forward or save to memory card on Samsung Stratosphere? 
    My screen is cracked and I need to replace my phone and I don't see a way of selecting multiple messages or even conversations one at a time to forward them to email or to save them to a memory card.  I can delete thread but can't forward it or move it.  Is there a setting somewhere that will move the storage location for messages to the memory card instead of internal?
    If not, any suggestions on backup apps?  I have heard of Txtract to back up SMS and MMS messages, and Titanium Backup to back up everything (SMS, MMS, apps, app data...).  Anyone have any experience with those, or other suggestions?
    Thanks!
