How to select multiple objects for left- or right-edge align?
Hello all,
This is my first day using indesign so hopefully this is an extremely basic question, but I haven't been able to find the answer anywhere online yet.
Let's say you have a page full of objects and you want to align only a few of them to the same right- or left- edge, without affecting the others.
You select just the ones you want to align by clicking while holding shift, correct?
But then a box appears around all of them, which means you can no longer align them to each other's edges because (I think) it's seeing the box as already aligned.
Please let me know if you see what I'm doing wrong and how to do it better.
Thank you!
It's not seeing them as aligned, it's just showing you the bounds of all selected items. They will align. Another little trick is (after all are selected with the shift key) click once on the edge of the one you want them to align to. It will get a bolder outline, stay where it is, and will become the guide for aligning the others.

How to select multiple objects in the layerpanel?
Hi everybody, I have this enoying problem:
I want to select a few paths in the layerpanel by NOT clicken on every one.
So for example I have the following structure:
Layer 01
path01
path02
path03
path04
path05
path06
path07
path08
path09
path10
And I want to activate path03 to path09 for further modifications - I would have to select every single path by clicking on it in the Target column.
Is there a faster way like selecting path03 and than holding the Shift-key and selecting path09 ? <- (This obvious solution doesn't work)
Thanks for your help!I found an odd work around
I know you but ther is more to it so read on.
shift select the paths you want in the layers and the to skip one or more pths option/alt select and to continue of course use the shift key again.
Onece you have all the pthas you want from the layers panel flyout Options for Selection. Check lock.
The Object>Unlock All , it will only unlock the selected items you just locked and they will then be slected on the canvas as well.
Here is a couple of screen shots notice the locked layer stays locked and unselected in both the layers panel and on the canvas, -
How do I select multiple contacts for an e-mail?
Using an iMac and wondering how to send an e-mail to multiple people in my contact list without having to open the contact list every time I select a name. It would be nice if I could just open the contact list and select multiple people for the same e-mail. Does anyone know how to do this?
Hi there Kathy, The easiest way is Window (along the menu bar) > Address Pannel, then you can select multipul contacts and then click the "To:" Button in the top left of the window.
(Tip: You can use comand and click to select multipul at once, then click the "To:" button in the top left) -

<<I'm assuming there is more to your XML than you showed, since
StudentLevel/StudentLevelCode
is not in the XML, but is in your query. >>
Yes, to simplify, I left out some of the additional XML data, which is typically present, sorry for any confusion. I should have removed those references to that data in my example which was failing to retrieve the NCESCode data which was denoted by that namespace.
Thank you very much! Your correction worked. I was not understanding until your correction how to properly reference in the XPATH for that namespace value. I'm a newbie at this, and this is my second post. But I've been able to populate quite a few relational tables and that was the first of several namespace tags I will have to deal with next, and with that help, I should be good with that syntax now.
Thanks again for your help on this. -
Hi,
Is there a way to shift select multiple objects in layer palette, not just highlight multiple objects?
I would want to do this when I have a bunch of objects hidden under some other objects on the artboard. This feature is available in PSD, so I assume Illustrator should have it.
Thanks!Thanks for the reply, Harron.
I'm using CS4 & below.
Highlighting object - click on object in layers palette & it turns blue
Select object - click on object in layers palette to the right of the circle, which creates a square, and selects the object on the artboard
How do I shift-select multiple objects in the layers palette...select 50 objects with a click, then a shift-click? Shift-select works for highlighting, but not selecting. On most programs shift-select is used to grab a bunch of stuff...:0)
In the past I have inadvertently selected multiple objects in the layers palette, by somehow alt?-dragging over the layers...or something...I can't re-create it. -
Selecting Multiple Objects with Output Preview Causing Problems
I'm trying to edit a PDF and need to select multiple objects. Without Output Preview open, I can easily select all the items I need using the shift key. With Output Preview open, whenever I try to select the second object, Output Preview creates a sticky note, instead of selecting the second object.
I am also using the PitStop Pro plug-in.
Any idea how to correct this problem? Thanks!Unfortunately it seems that the new sticky note feature with the output preview in Acrobat XI uses the same keyboard shortcut as multiple selection tool in Pitstop (shift).
Closing the output preview is the easiest way to get around this issue.
We could consider changing the key for multiple selection in PitStop, but 'shift' is pretty much a default, so what could we change it too?
If anyone has any thoughts could they email me, I am the product manager responsible for Pitstop at Enfocus and my email is '[email protected]'
All feedback gratefully received. -
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,
RodrigoThanks 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 to select multiple values from the Parameters in the concurrent program
How to select multiple values from the Parameters defined in the concurrent program...and i believe multiple selection is not a direct feature of EBS, but is there any workaround solution to acheive mulitple selection?
I think there's no way to do that using standard feature.
Some workaround I use :
1. If the number of selections are fixed, you could use multiple parameters for the same valueset. For example :
Selection1 : <choose first selection>
Selection2: <choose 2nd selection>
..etc.
If you don't use it then leave it empty.
2. Use text varchar valueset and enter it manually and separate by comma (or other value) , eg : selection1,selection2,selection3....etc. -

-SandipRashmi/Kukku,
First of all, Thanks for your help!
Is there any other way in which we can access tables other than using BAPIs or RFCs?
In my case, there is a table structure which has to be updated with values after validating a key. i don't think there is any RFC available now. do i need to create bapi/rfc for that?

How to select multiple recipients in iPad mail
I have read that I can't create groups, but how to select multiple recipients in iPad mail?
I was looking for this when setting up for two new people who are going to have the iPad as their only device.. and they do need to email a bunch of people at once..
I was sending out the 'I have a new email address' BCC for them.
Thanks.You can select multiple contacts by tapping on the + sign in the upper right corner in the To: field when you are typing a new email. Just keep tapping the + sign and your contacts will pop up in a window. Select the contact that you want to add, repeat the process in order to add as many recipients as you want.
There are other mail apps that let you creat groups and email to those groups.

How to select multiple clips???
I am a very avid iMovie user and now this new version has me so confused. I have the basics down, but I can't figure out how to select all clips and dump them into the "timeline" area. I can select them one at a time and place them in the assembly area but that takes forever on a one hour soccer game. Anyone figure out how to select multiple clips or all clips at once?
Thanks ahead of time.Weird seeing this question today after I dealt with this yesterday. I did a movie yesterday that was multiple clips. I was able to select all clips at once and drag the entire thing up to the top window. I just tried to do the same thing again after reading this question and for the life of me, it will no longer allow me to click and drag to select them all. I wonder if this has something to do with the fact that all 10 or so clips I was able to highlight before, were all parts of the same clip when filmed (they were split into individual segments when imported). When I try to combine two clips that are not filmed sequentially, it will no longer allow it. The help menu says nothing about this. All it says is you need to click on the first clip and hold the mouse down and drag it to the end and it will select all. That is not working.

How to select multiple items in ListView?
Is it possible to select multiple items (rows) in ListView? I'm able
to select only one item at a time.
I'm running Forte 30F2 on Windows NT 4.0.
Thanks in advance,

I talked to Forte support about this recently and they had nothing but
bad news.
They said that you cannot select multiple rows in a listview, and that
this is a
feature that will be in the next release ( release 4 ).
I then asked if it was possible for me to highlight a row manually ( and
do the multiple
select myself ), and they said that also wasn't possible. This is due
to the fact that
there are no displaynode properties that effect display attributes (
like font or color ).
They suggested that I try changing the smallicon to show rows that have
been 'selected'.
In other words, when you ctrl-click on any particular row, you could put
an icon at the
beginning of a row that shows that this row has been clicked on.
I'm still working on this myself, so I will keep you posted.
