Selecting Multiple Objects
There are several different methods you can use to select groups of objects on your form page. The selected groups of objects will be enclosed in a selection box. Each selected object within the selection box is outlined with a dotted line so you can tell which objects are included:
Once you have selected a group of objects, they will remain selected until you either click outside the selection box or select a drawing tool.
A summary of the objects you select will be displayed in a list of Selected Objects in the status bar at the bottom left of the screen. This is useful if you have several overlapping objects selected. At times, it is difficult to determine which objects are included in the selection.
