You will notice that all the text is too close together and not very eye catching. Next
we want to select all the text and change the line spacing.
To select all the text:
Selecting any text or graphic on the screen is accomplished by using the mouse. The
purpose of selecting text and objects is to apply the effects of a selected tool. To change
the style of a word, you need to select the word and apply the style.
1. Position the mouse cursor where you want to start the selection.
For this example, you are going to select all the text you typed, starting from You’re .
Move the mouse cursor before the y in You’re .
2. Click the left mouse button.
The text cursor should move in front of the Y in You’re . However, when you click the
mouse button, the cursor must be placed inside the text margin. If you click outside the
margin, nothing happens.
3. Without moving the mouse cursor from where you clicked before the Y, press and
hold the left mouse button.
4. Drag the mouse to the lower right corner of the document until all the text you typed is
selected.
As you drag the mouse, text that is selected changes from a white background to black
and the text color changes from black to white.
This example showed how to select text from top to bottom (or left to right). You can
also select text from bottom to top (or right to left). The direction does not matter, as
long as you only select the desired text.
