3.4.5 Selecting fields

Fields are selected for special operations using the mouse. Before attempt-
ing to select a field, it is a good idea to deselect all tools by clicking on the
Pointer . This will make sure that as you select fields, you do not inad-
vertently add unwanted fields to your layout.

A field may be selected by clicking anywhere within its borders. You may
also select a field by dragging a "stretch box" around the anchor point of the
field. Note that when no tools are enabled, the color of the stretch box turns
from green to red. Below is an example of a single field selection. The selec-
tion is indicated by a blue outline around the entire perimeter of the field. In
each corner of the selection box, as well as in the middle of each side, are
sizer boxes. These sizers allow you to change the size of the selected field
by dragging the box with the mouse.

You may select more than one field by holding down the control key while
you click on the field. You may also select multiple fields simultaneously by
dragging a "stretch box" to encompass the anchor points of all of the desired
fields. Below is an example of a multiple field selection.
