Question:

I want to select (highlight) several pages of a large document. Is there an easier way than pressing F6 (for Extend) then F10 (for next paragraph) several times?

Response:

Place the cursor at the start of the text to be highlighted and do the following:


 * 1) Press F6 (Extend).
 * 2) Choose Jump Page. The Jump Page command takes you to the first character of the page you specify.
 * 3) Type the number of the last page to be highlighted. Press ENTER.

All of the text in between the original cursor location and the location you Jumped to will be highlighted. Press F10 to highlight the rest of the page.

You can also use the Search command in conjunction with the F6 key to extend the highlight.
