Hey all,
A while back, before I updated to Yosemite, I had the ability to select an entire paragraph of text (click+drag), then press command+click, and deselect the portions of text I didn't want included in my selection. This was a very useful feature, especially if I wanted to deselect something in the middle of the paragraph. I can't seem to get that option back.. Any tips?
Thanks
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
Incase I was unclear, this is what I mean, it works in TextEdit, but I cannot do it in Pages 5.5.3.
Audrey,
TextEdit and Pages v5.5.3 are entirely different applications. The ability to select/deselect non-contiguous text in Pages ended when Pages v5 was initially released. Pages '09 v4.3, on the otherhand, with its 100+ feature advantage over Pages v5.5.3, continues to permit non-contiguous text selection/deselection (command key + double-click).
In Pages v5.5.3, if you want a contiguous text selection you click at the beginning of the text, press the shift key, and then click at the end of the intended selection. If you have an existing selection, and you want to extend/reduce that selection, then press the shift key and then click where you want the effect to take place.
How to deselect portions of selected text?
