Karen,
Are all your graphics contained within the same graphic frame or are they in
separate graphic frames on your page? If it's the latter what you are trying to
do will not work. The software was never meant to work that way. If they are in
the same graphic frame, selecting the graphic frame and pressing "Ctrl-A" has
always worked for me.

Subject: Re: Trouble selecting multiple graphics
Really? Then why does the online FrameMaker 11 help say (or seem to say) that
you can?

And what the heck kind of workflow is that... making you click and copy/paste
or whatever three, four, five times instead of once?
