    Yep, that works. Thanks all.

    Me, I've never tried to use F8; I simply put the cursor at the start of >>

    point.



    Your selections seem too big to try simply Shift-dragging.

    Thanks for you help so far, but it turns out the problem is not
    related

    to pictures, but there's still a problem. Here's what I know now: I

    have a large, fairly complicated document (sections, bookmarks,

    footnotes, fields,etc). There are regions even of straight text that >> >> I

    can't select with the Extended Selection mode --- I left-click the

    mouse, press F8, Extend Selection shows on the status bar, but as
    soon

    as I scroll with the mouse wheel, Extend Selection disappears from
    the

    status bar. Now the next thing I tried is copying the "difficult

    region" into a new (and therefore simpler) blank document. I select
    the

    text to be copied by just left-dragging with the mouse to select it
    and

    then copying it into a new document. Now everything works as desired >> >> in

    the new document --- the mouse wheel does not turn off the Extend

    Selection mode. But it still does (the mouse wheel turns off the
    Extend

    Selection mode) in the large complex original document. My conclusion >> >> is

    that there is something about the size/complexity of the original

    document that's causing the problem. Any ideas? Other parameters
    that

    are set or unset in the original that are not set the same way in a
    new

    blank document which is why the different behavior in the

    extracted/copied document? Wish I could post a sample document with
    the

    problem, but I can't --- the documents with the problems are pretty

    large, small extracts into new documents don't have the problem.
