RE: Trouble selecting multiple graphics
Hmmm ... not sure what you are experiencing. For me, using a diagonal sweep works fine for selecting multiple graphics objects. Just have to make sure not to accidentally grab the text frame. Could you have a mouse problem? I have noticed that with wireless mice, when the battery is weak, it sends along false clicks.

In FM10, I can select, copy, and paste multiple graphics in or out of frames, though I can select only one frame at a time.

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.

Trouble selecting multiple graphics
You can select multiple graphic objects within an anchored frame, but you cannot select multiple anchored frames. You can also select multiple graphic objects that happen to be just floating around on a page, although the only place you might want to have such graphics is on a master page. It sounds like you need to be thinking of selecting the frame before inserting your graphics (after the first one, that is) so that you can get all your graphics in one frame to begin with. Hope that helps.

While you are on the subject of workspaces and pods, I wanted to bring up an important issue to me - the lack of information on how to make custom FDK dialog boxes (and presumably ExtendScript dialogs as well) that can be added to workspaces. The FDK documentation says you can do it, but doesn't say how. I've asked on this list, the Adobe user-to-user forums, and the Yahoo framedev list, with no results except crickets chirping. Many of us rely heavily on FDK and/or ES extensions with custom pods. It is a significant obstacle to the acceptance of workspace tools, etc., when we are unable to configure them with our custom interfaces as well.
