Selecting type
About selecting type
You must select type before you can format or edit it. You can select one or more characters, an entire type object, or
a type path.
•
Selecting characters lets you edit them, format them using the Character palette, apply fill and stroke attributes to
them, and change their transparency. You can apply these changes to one character, a range of characters, or all
characters in a type object. When characters are selected, they are highlighted in the document window and the
word “Characters” appears in the Appearance palette.
•
Selecting a type object lets you apply global formatting options to all the characters in the object, including options
from the Character and Paragraph palettes, fill and stroke attributes, and transparency settings. In addition, you
can apply effects, multiple fills and strokes, and opacity masks to a selected type object. (This is not possible for
individually selected characters.) When a type object is selected, a bounding box appears around it in the
document window and the word “Type” appears in the Appearance palette.
•
Selecting a type path lets you adjust its shape and apply fill and stroke attributes to it. This level of selection is not
available for point type. When a type path is selected, the word “Path” appears in the Appearance palette.
The Type Object Selection By Path Only preference determines the sensitivity of the selection tools when selecting
type objects in the document window. When this preference is selected, you must click directly on the type path in
order to select the type. When this preference is deselected, you can click anywhere in the type bounding box to select
the type. You can set this preference by choosing Edit > Preferences > Type (Windows) or Illustrator > Preferences >
Type (Mac OS).
