Selecting characters in text objects
This lets you select one character from a line of text.
To select a character in text objects
1. Choose the Selector Tool.
2. Click on the text object to select it.
3. Either:
CTRL-click on the character,
or ALT+CTRL-click on the character twice. The first click selects the line, the second click selects the character.
Tips
You can also select a character by selecting a region of the text object with only one character in it. See Selecting part of a text object.
When a text character is selected, the Text Tool Infobar shows the attributes applied to it.
A selected region of text remains selected even after a tool other than the Text Tool has been chosen. This makes it simple to apply fills and transparency to selected text regions.
