Have A Microsoft Works Question...
Edited on Fri Jan-23-09 10:36 PM by Yes We Did
I'm using works word processor.

I need to select a bunch of paragraphs that aren't contiguous... aren't connected. Now, I tried holding ctrl... shift... alt... and selecting it, but it doesn't work.

Is there any way to make it so I can make multiple separate selections?

Thanks in advance.

On Edit: What I am trying to do is indent from the left and from the right without having to hilite each paragraph and change the margins individually.

5. That's all I use, but you can't do that trick in it either.

3. Microsoft Works?
Isn't that an oxymoron?

7. Try this

Make your initial selection using the mouse while holding down the shift key.

Let go.

Hold down the CTRL key and make your next and subsequent selections using the mouse. This works in Word so I think it might oughtta work in Works.
