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.
