As a relatively new user of Pages, I have encountered the bug wherein it is not possible to select text that spans page boundaries. I sent feedback to Apple through the menu option. However, while it is not possible to select text across page boundaries in a forward direction, I have found that it can be done moving backwards through the document. So, While one cannot select the entire document from the beginning of the doc and then pressing shift command down arrow (select to end of file), one can select the entire doc from the bottom of the document and pressing shift command up arrow (select to top of file). (note: I am not sure that selecting the entire document is subject to the bug, so the above statement may not apply). Where this fact comes in most handy is selecting multiple paragraphs, or even a single paragraph that spans page boundaries. I select these conditions by moving to the end of the last paragraph to be selected, and then using the shift option up arrow command to select the desired paragraphs. doing so selects the paragraphs where trying to select them from the first to the last will result in the known text selection bug. I haven't tested this workaround very extensively, so others may want to give it a more thorough going over. But, it does work well as far as I have taken it.
Hope this helps, and I hope I'm not just re-discovering and telling of common knowledge. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
