Selection arrow (Word 2007)

[Guest]

Hello !
There used to be a "selection arrow" (translation from a french user...
sorry) in the Word 2003 "drawing taskbar"... This changed the direction of
the "normal" arrow in order to select images, shapes and text boxes in blink
of an eye...
Has it disappeared ? How can I find back such a tool ?
Thanks for your answere...

Go to the "Home" tab (first tab on the left). Look at the very far right, in
the "Editing" tab, the very last entry. Click on the arrow to show the list,
the second entry is "Select objects", which is what you're looking for. But
please note that this only works with the older types of objects (from the
Drawing toolbar), not with the new graphics type (like what you get when you
Insert/Picture).
