To select elements in the Structure area:
• Do one of the following:
▪ Click an element to select it, and then CTRL+click each subsequent element you want to add to
the selection. Note that you can only add elements at the same level in the Structure area
hierarchy. You can also use SHIFT+UPARROW and SHIFT+DOWN ARROW to add the next
element above or below the currently selected elements, to the selection. CTRL+click a selected
element to remove it from the selection. SHIFT+click an element to select all elements at the
same level in the Structure area hierarchy between it and the last element selected.
▪ Click one of the elements that appears in the Structure area at the level of the element(s) you
want to include in the selection. Then click and drag to draw a marquee around the elements you
want to move.
To select all elements at the same level in the Structure area hierarchy:
1. In the Structure area, click on one of the elements that occupies the level in the Structure area
hierarchy whose elements you want to select.
2. Choose Home |Clipboard | Select All or press CTRL+A.
All elements at that level in the Structure area hierarchy appear highlighted in the Structure area. If the
elements are objects or groups, those objects and groups also appear highlighted in the Page area.
To move an element in the Structure area:
1. In the Structure area, select the element or elements you want to move.
2. Drag the elements.
As you drag, a ghost image of the element(s) you are moving follows the pointer, and either a blue bar
appears (if the pointer is outside the name of an element) or the element is highlighted in black (if the
pointer is over the name of an element) to indicate the current drop target. The pointer changes to
indicate whether the current drop target is legal ( ) or illegal ( ). Note that if you pause over
a collapsed group or page as you drag, PlanetPress Design expands that group or page.

3. Release the elements at a legal drop target.
PlanetPress Design moves the element(s) to the new position.
3.2.23 Cut, Copy, and Paste Elements in the Structure Area
You should never need to perform any of these operations on an attachment. If for some reason you find it
necessary to have a second copy of an attachment in the document, you can add the same attachment to the
document a second time. Note that you cannot copy, cut or paste attachments in the Document Structure
area.
To cut/copy and paste elements in the Structure area:
1. Select the element(s) you want to cut or copy.
2. To copy the element(s), choose Home | Clipboard | Copy.
3. Click the element in the Structure area where you want the pasted element(s) to appear.
4. Choose Home | Clipboard | Paste.
