Selection Savvy
Ever need to make more than one choice in a list box? (A list
box is basically an item by item list. You've probably seen them on web pages
or in computer programs you've used. Outlook Express uses a list box to display
its list of messages.)
Here's how:
1. Click the first item on the list you would like to have selected.
2. Next, while holding down the SHIFT key, click the last
item you would like selected.
That's it, the first and last selected items are now highlighted, as well
as everything in between.
OK, so what if you just need specific items selected, not whole sections?
That's easy too. Hold down the CTRL key while making your
selections. As long as the CTRL key is down, you can click
select individual items on in a list box.
Note that not all list boxes support multiple selections. You can experiment
with this technique using the list of e-mails in your inbox with a program
like Outlook Express.
