PSelectAll

Selects all objects (both text blocks and graphics) on the current page and pasteboard, or selects all the text in the story, depending upon the tool that is used and whether layout view or the story editor is active.

Command constructor

PSelectAll();

Layout view: Selection varies among tools. When any tool except the text or cropping tool is active, PageMaker selects all items on the current page (or facing pages) and on the pasteboard.

If the text tool is active and there is no insertion point in a text block, or if the cropping tool is active, nothing is selected.

If the text tool is active and an insertion point (text cursor) is in the text, the entire story is selected, including portions that are not on the current page.

Story editor. If story editor is open, PageMaker selects all the text in the currently active story.

Example. The following example selects all objects on the page and paste board.

PSelectAll();
