Selecting Text

For the most part, selecting text in Illustrator CS2 is similar to most applications: Double-click on a word with the Type tool (T) to select it; triple-click to select the entire paragraph (as we did in our example). To select a portion of a paragraph (without clicking-and-dragging), there are a couple of options. Hold down the Shift key and press the Right Arrow key, or click once at the beginning of the text, hold down Shift and click at the end of the text you want to select.
