Writer:选择文本
出自OOo 中文指南手册翻译
在你可以对文本进行任何操作之前，您需要选择它。Writer的文本选择类似于在其他应用程序中选择任何东西。 Before you can do anything with text, you need to select it. Selecting text in Writer is similar to selecting anything in other applications. (1)
除了选择文本块，你可以选择不连续的项目、以及栏目（垂直文本块）。 In addition to selecting blocks of text, you can select items that are not consecutive, and columns (vertical blocks) of text. (2)
[编辑] 选择不连续的文本 Selecting items that are not consecutive
用鼠标选择不连续的文本 To select nonconsecutive items using the mouse:
- 选择第一处文本。Select the first piece of text.
- 按下Control (Ctrl) 键并使用鼠标来选择下一处文本。Hold down the Control (Ctrl) key and use the mouse to select the next piece of text.
- 按需要重复这一操作。 Repeat as often as needed.
之后就可以对选中的文本进行操作了（复制、删除、改变样式、或者其他）。(Now you can work with the selected text (copy it, delete it, change the style, or whatever).)
 | Macintosh用户：将本文说明中提到的Control键替换成Command键。 |
| Macintosh users: substitute the Command key when instructions in this chapter say to use the Control key. |
用键盘选择非连续的文本 To select nonconsecutive items using the keyboard:
- 选择第一处文本。（关于使用键盘选择文本的更多信息，参见OpenOffice.org帮助文件(F1)中的“用键盘进行导航和选择”。）Select the first piece of text. (For more information about keyboard selection of text, see the topic “Navigating and selecting with the keyboard” in the OpenOffice.org Help (F1).)
- 按下组合键Shift+F8。Writer进入补充模式。状态栏里显示补充一词。Press Shift+F8. This puts Writer in Add mode. The word ADD appears on the status bar.
- 用箭头键移动鼠标到下一处要选择的文本的起始处，按下Shift键并选择该处文本。Use the arrow keys to move to the start of the next piece of text to be selected. Hold down the Shift key and select the next piece of text.
- 根据需要重复这一操作。Repeat as often as needed.
- 之后就可以对选中的文本进行操作了。Now you can work with the selected text.
- 按Esc脱离这一模式。Press Esc to exit from this mode.
 | 按Esc键不能脱离补充模式，需要再按一次Shift+F8。 OOo 3.1 XP En。Shift+F8 toggle 似乎是一个 更好的选择。 |
[编辑] 选择垂直文本块 Selecting a vertical block of text
您可以使用OOo的的块选择模式，选择由空格或制表符分隔的垂直文本块或“一栏”的文本（如你可能复制于电子邮件、程序清单、或其他来源的文本）。要更改为块选择模式，使用“编辑 > 选择模式 > 方块区域”，或单击几次状态栏上的标准，直到它变为BLK。 You can select a vertical block or “column” of text that is separated by spaces or tabs (as you might see in text pasted from e-mails, program listings, or other sources), using OOo’s block selection mode. To change to block selection mode, use 'Edit > Selection Mode > Block Area', or click several times in the status bar on STD until it changes to BLK.
现在使用鼠标或键盘，突出显示选中的部分，如下图所示。 Now highlight the selection, using mouse or keyboard, as shown below.
