• Click the object. If the object is an unfilled path, click its edge.
• Drag a dotted selection rectangle or marquee around part or all of the object.
• With a graphic object or nested content selected, click the Select Container button on the Control panel.

object. If you don’t see a bounding box when an object is selected, you may have selected the object using the Direct
Selection tool .
If you click a frame and it is not selected, the frame may be on a locked layer or master page. If the frame is on a
locked layer, a pencil icon appears. If the frame is on a master page, you can override it to select it.

Paths in InDesign are defined by anchor points, end points, and direction lines. You select anchor points and end
points using the Direct Selection tool.

• To select multiple points on the path, press Shift as you click each point.
• To select all of a path’s points at once, click the point at the center of the object, or hold down Alt (Windows) or
Option (Mac OS) and click the path. If you direct-select any part of the object, the Select All command also selects
all the points.
