Selecting Paragraphs
InDesign provides several ways to select text when you're using paragraph formatting:
As in XPress, you can place the text insertion point anywhere in the paragraph; you don't have to select the whole paragraph. Similarly, you can select a range of text in a text frame with the Type tool. Formatting applies to paragraphs included in the range, even if you don't select all the text in a paragraph. Unlike XPress, you can use the Selection tool to select one or more unlinked text frames. Formatting applies to all the text in the selected frames. In addition, paragraph attributes can be copied with the Eyedropper tool and applied to other type (see Chapter 82).
