Mats,
I happily stand corrected. You are right about the graphic select tool, I
had been looking for it and neglected to try the text select tool hold-down.
Now that I know it is there, I can see the small black triangle in the
corner of the Text Select Icon indicating the flyout nature of the button.
Thanks for pointing it out. I for one was in need of it.
Regards,
Glenn Nevill
