Jim, I've been trying to follow your instructions to no avail. The steps I see are
1. Select partial line (text tool?) 2. Select full lines (select tool?) 3. Select final partial line (text tool?) 4. Shift-click selections 1 through 3 in sequence My problem is that when I use the text tool for step 1, choosing the select tool clears the selection made in step 1. I don't see that it's possible to make multiple selections with either the text tool or the select tool. Do I have the steps and tools correct? Johnnie Wilcox ................
