SpecsIntact allows the selecting of information in several ways.

• Selecting text may be done as in any other program (such as MS Word or WordPerfect), by holding down the left mouse button and drag the pointer to the last character to be selected.

• You can position your cursor at the beginning of the information to be selected and hold the Shift Key down while using the appropriate keyboard arrow key until the desired text is selected.

• You can double-click on and individual word to select it.   

• You can also continue double-clicking to expand the selected area to include the surrounding tags. Double-clicking with your left mouse button inside of a selected block of text will expand the selected region to include the immediately surrounding pair of tags. You can precisely select an entire Subpart (or TXT paragraph, PRT, RID, ORG, etc.) simply by positioning the cursor on any word in the entire Subpart, and then continue double clicking. Each time you double-click, the selected region will expand, until you have selected the entire Subpart. If the start of the selected region is not on your screen, the Editor will automatically scroll there.

See demo of double-click Text Selection and Text Selection Keystrokes.

This feature works with tags visible or hidden. You can use this feature to select levels up to an entire Part (but you cannot select an entire Section by this method).
