How do you select multiple / separate words in Pages?

Hi, I currently have Pages 5.5 (2109)
and the title is self-explanatory.
I'm trying to shift over from Microsoft Word, but this one function seems not to be at present.
Can somebody help me?
If it does not exist, is there any way you can dictate it?
Thank you,
Henry

Use Pages '09.

  • How do you select multiple files to drag

    How do you select multiple files to drag from one folder to another? Is there a command?

    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.
    If only certain files are to be transferred, then you have to select them (COMMAND 'A')  individually and the drag them as a group to the new location.

  • 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!

    Select one, and then either command-click another, or in list/column view, Shift-click the item at the other end of the range you want to select. Alternatively, click on a spot in the screen and drag the cursor until all the files are selected.

    Hello Tiggertiffany,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you need to select multiple items on iCloud.com then you can use the common procedure to select multiple items by either holding Command or Shift on your keyboard.
    To select multiple files or folders, hold down the Command (⌘) key, then click the items.
    To select multiple files or folders that are listed together, click the first item you want to select, hold down the Shift key, then click the last item.

  • How do you select multiple words using a Magic Trackpad?

    I know how to select multiple words with my mouse, but cannot figure out how to do it using my new Magic Trackpad. Here's the deal:
    Let's say you want to select "cannot figure out how to" in the sentence above. With my mouse, I'd place the cursor somewhere over the word "cannot," double-left-click and keep holding the button down. Then, dragging to the right, it would select each word in its entirety as I moved along the sentence. I do this all the time since it is a very quick way to select text.
    Okay, so how do you do this with the Magic Trackpad?
    I try a similar behavior, but it doesn't work. If I double-tap on "cannot," for example, one of two things happens. Either only the word "cannot" is highlighted and dragging does nothing to highlight more text. Or, if I'm quicker with the drag (aka swipe) right, it will select one character at a time starting from the cursor position when I double-tapped and not entire words, as I want.
    I'm stumped. Anyone?

    Jeffrey,
    The only good way seems to be by using the physical click on the Trackpad. Double physical click then drag. Much the way it's done on the mouse.

  • TS2128 How can I select multiple SEPARATE objects/words in Pages (Mavericks version)?

    When I type a document and decide to italicise a couple of separate words throughout the document how can I select them at once? Pressing Shift selects all the words between the first and the second, that does not help me. In Pages 09 it worked with either cmd or ctrl or alt (I don't remember which, but one of them worked) but I tried all of them now and nothing happens.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thank you!

    You can't do it anymore. Pages 5 is a stripped application and has lost about 90 feature that Pages 09 has. Read more about it in other threads in this forum.

  • In Flash CS4, how do you select multiple anchor points across separate layers?

    I am talking about anchor points on a line, not a keyframe. They are also called "handles". I can select the anchor points as "white" quickly, but I can't get them to be "solid"without doing it layer by layer, which is tedious. What I want is way to select lines that are in different layers and get the points I selected in a way similar to the regular selection tool or free transform tool. I have been trying to do this all day and I can't find a good way to do this, and I would appreciate any help.
    Here is an image of what I'm trying to do, but more easily. The lines are on separate layers, but when I select them with the subselection tool I have to go layer by layer selecting the points. I'm trying to look for a very quick way of doing it. When I do select all with the subselection tool on, the anchor points are only "white" and not "solid" as shown below.

    Now you're post was a while ago and I still need a solution, but I have to say this. I didn't mean to be rude to you; it’s just that it doesn’t answer my question I specified in the original post. I know your intentions are good, but it frustrates me when someone doesn’t fully read a post and offers a solution, it sometimes gives a false impression that the problem is taken care of. Example of being "helpful": http://forums.adobe.com/message/2540277    Yes I know there is a “Yes, my question has been answered,” but you know they don’t always select it, and other people know that as well. But you are right; I should probably act a little bit nicer and reiterate what I’ve already said before, I’ll probably get more help from it. It just seems to be a simple feature that seems to be needed to be in the program. I didn't mean it takes forever to move, it takes forever to select multiple anchor points across, let's say 10 layers, so that's 10 different lines on 10 layers. You have to select each layer and then select the anchor points. If there is an away to select anchor points across all layers in one go please tell me. Maybe I was wrong, but I could’ve sworn I’ve seen ideas that were posted on here get taken into Adobe as a suggestion, but yes I submitted it as a suggestion to Adobe, but I wanted to confirm that there was no way of doing it first since it seems kind unbelievable because the regular selection tool works across multiple layers.

  • How do you select multiple files on a macbook pro?

    Can anyone tell me how to select multiple files at one time?  I am so frustrated with the way macbook pro works that I really regret buying it.  I hate that you can't select multiple files, and that my contact stuff keeps changing.  It is certainly not like I was told...that I would never want to use a PC again.  I would not buy another apple computer.  I spent a lot of money to NOT be able to do things that I have always done with ease.  Every time I think I have something figured out, it doesn't work the next time I go to use it in another program.  If anyone has an answer to this, I would sure appreciate it. 
    And all of these so called wonderful updates to the operating system on all mac products have left me frustrated and liking my apple products far less than I did before.  On my iphone I had to make the texts just huge to even be able to see the white writing on a blue background.  Not sure who made these designs, but from my perspective, I can tell you they certainly weren't thinking about being user friendly in any way when they did it.  So disappointed in all of my devices!  I do not enjoy using my computer, ipad, or iphone even close to what I did before.

    This is some information on the Finder.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2470
    To select multiple files you can use the shift key with the mouse if they are in a contiguous list or the CMD key with the mouse if you have breaks in that list. You can also use the mouse to drag over the files you want to select.
    The Macs are easy to use, I have used many versions of Windows, Linux and other operating systems and I find OS X is far the easiest, but that is me.
    There are many instructional videos and texts on Apples web site and if you are near to an Apple store they do classes to help.
    Hope you get used to it.

  • How do you select multiple recipients without having to open the contacts list each time

    Just upgraded to Yosemite...not really impressed with the overall look but...can live it.  Using mail, if you did not want to send to an entire group, you could scroll through and select all the desired addresses at one time.  Now it appears that you have to click on the "plus sign", select one address, have it close then repeat the same process over and over.  Sorry, not an improvement if this is the way it is designed to work.   Any ideas on how to do this?
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for the input.  I am not sure why they changed the old system....is there any way to force the contact box to stay open?  Not being able to scroll down a list and select multiple selections is a big step back.  Hopefully Apple will get the message. 

  • How do you select multiple on the new update of pages?

    Pages '09 is still in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Trash or archive Pages 5 after Exporting all your Pages 5 files to either Pages '09 or Word .docx.
    Then rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store.

  • How do you select multiple emails from the contacts book.

    Using 10.8.4. I would like to use mail and select multiple email address' from the contacts book to send the same message to multiple persons. I thought I used to be able to select more than one at a time from my contacts book. Am I crazy or did they change the way it works from the previous version of software.
    Or, could you go to the contacts book and email from there. Either way it seems like it was easy to do and now I have to select one at a time and keep going back to the contacts/address book for another name.

    Hi shelereric,
    Once you open a new message, you should be able to just start typing the first letters of the contact's name, and Mail should give you a dropdown to select from:
    So, you should not have to go back and forth between your contacts and mail....anyone in your address book should show up on the dropdown as well as anyone you have received emails from or sent emails to even if they are not in your contacts....
    Is that not what is happening for you? Are you using the Mail app on the Mac?
    Cheers,

  • How do you select multiple contacts for transfer to another.  BT device?

    I Am trying to send specific contacts to the phone book on a Panasonic  'link to cell' phone.  How does one select specific contacts and then send them to the BT paired phone?

    Hello Harvey102
    The Bluetooth for your iPhone does not connect to a computer and is for headsets and keyboards. If you want to share it with your computer, you would need to set up a sync or you can share the contact by emailing it and then go to the computer and download it to your computer.
