Summary: How to build a selection set composed of graphics. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 6, Word 95, Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)
If you have quite a few graphics on a page in Word, you may want to group them all together so they are treated as a single unit. You can select each of the individual graphic items by holding down the SHIFT key and clicking on each one, but there is a faster way.
Simply click on the Select Objects tool on the Drawing toolbar. (The Select Objects tool is the one that looks like an arrow.) You can then click your mouse and drag it to define a rectangle that encloses all the objects you want selected. Anything within the rectangle is selected.
To turn off the Select Objects tool, click on it again or press the ESC key.
