Selecting a Story

Selecting a Story
Select a story any time you want to open, move, copy, mail, float, or delete the story.
To select a story:
1. Open the queue containing the story you want to select.
For more information, see
“Opening a Queue” on page 62.
2. In the Queue panel, locate the story you want to select and click the selector button to the left
of the story.
n
While in the Queue panel, holding the Shift key down and pressing the Space bar can also be
used to select a story.
The text of the highlighted story appears in the Story panel.
Selecting Several Stories in a Sequence
At times, you might want to select many stories grouped together in a Queue panel. You might,
for instance, want to move or copy them simultaneously rather than selecting each one manually.
To select several stories in a sequence:
1. Open the queue containing the stories you want to select.
For more information, see
“Opening a Queue” on page 62.
2. In the Queue panel, locate the first story in the sequence of stories you want to select and
click the selector button to the left of that story.
3. Move to the last story in the sequence of stories and, while pressing the Shift key, click the
selector button to the left of that story.
All the stories between those you selected manually are also selected. Now you can move,
copy, or otherwise work with those selected stories.
Selecting Several Stories out of Sequence
At times, you might want to select many stories within a queue that are located within in a Queue
panel but are not grouped together. You may, for instance, want to move or copy them
simultaneously rather than selecting each one manually.
To select several stories out of sequence:
1. Open the queue containing the stories you want to select.
For more information, see
“Opening a Queue” on page 62.
