Marking text

[raffon]

I needed to make some text bold in a long list. So of course I would highlight the test and ctrl+b. As I was moving down the list I happened to keep the control key down and the next time I put the cursor on the start of the selected text, it selected the whole line! I learn something new everytime I use this program and thought I would pass this one along to anyone who hasn't discovered this time saver.

Yeah, there are a bunch of them. See Tips of the Week 2 and Tip of the Week 4 for the complete list.

These are mostly Microsoft things that work in most applications, except Adobe applications.

Grant and Gary,

These things can come in handy. Thanks for sharing.

That's cool, too bad no graphical program can type Hebrew as it should...(yeah I know it sounds crazy but that's the language they speak here http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif - from Right to left....

Availor,
Discovered the Hebrew issue one year working at Busch Gardens while doing Caricatures. Some Students from Isreal had me write some Hebrew text on a cartoon I'd just finished. They all chuckled as I wrote the text Left to Right. Found out why afterwards... In Hebrew sentances are written Right to Left.

Hey Availor,

The closest I can get is to have it reversed, but it is also upside down... http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Hehe Hebrew is a tought language since it also have Final letters... for example you dont' write the M in the middle as you would write it in the end.... And to think I'm learning Arabic... sheesh http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif Anyway there's a big problem with graphical software with that.. I have to type within Word and copy and paste as a bitmap image...

I have enough problems with Engwish. I do not think I could handle Hebrew or Arabic. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Hi Availor,

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> from Right to left.... <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

lots easier than from top to bottom ;-} 5.000 characters just for the basic language would be too much for my ol' brain
