When select all doesn't
Hello,
Can someone provide me with some guidance on documents containing a mixture of text and drawing objects. Ctrl A selects the text but not the objects. I have two questions: 1. Is there a command that I can use to select both text and objects? 2. Is there something that I can do during the document creation process that gets around this issue? -- Thanks in advance, MarkN |

A Word document comprises a set of one or more "layers". The primary layer,
which is always present, is the main story (ie the body of the document). The others, if provided, are the graphics layer (textboxes and floating graphics), the various kinds of headers and footers, comments, endnotes, and footnotes. You can only work in one layer at a time. So to answer your questions, no and no. (Actually I'm not sure what 'gets around this issue' means in this context. Why is it an issue?)

Note that since each object is anchored in a text paragraph, you may
not need to select them. For example, if you are copying and pasting text with anchors, the anchored objects will be copied too.
