How to delete a text object?
I can delete most objects by selecting them and pressing the Delete key. If I do that with a text object, the Delete key deletes a character in the text inside the object. I have found that I can right-click the object and then select Delete Object or I can press the Detele key while holding down the Shift key. Is there a setting that will make Publisher select just the object with the first click and the text with a second click? Visio works this way and it's much easier for me -- maybe because I'm usdd to it. -- Running Publisher 2K SP-3 in Office 2K OS: Win 2K SP-4 (5.00.2195)

Be sure you do a single click on the text object and when pressing the delete key should take it out. -- Don Vancouver, USA "LurfysMa" <invalid@invalid.invalid> wrote in message news:4l1cp2p6lb5i6cpuoq6htoqhhocvoca39g@4ax.com... >I can delete most objects by selecting them and pressing the Delete > key. > > If I do that with a text object, the Delete key deletes a character in > the text inside the object.

There is no way to select the object that I can find. As I move the cursor close to the object, the pointer turned into a moving van while the tip is still 1/8" away.

If I then click, the >text, not the object, is selected. While I was experimenting with Ctrl-x and Ctrl-Shift-x, I discovered that pasting the text object also leaves the text, not the object selected. If I click on a text object and then press Ctrl-C and then Ctrl-V, the object will be replicated and the text will be selected. Pressing the Delete key will delete the first letter in the text. So Ctrl-C and Delete are not consistent. I think Pub2000 is broken. -- Running Publisher 2K SP-3 in Office 2K OS: Win 2K SP-4 (5.00.2195)

Seems my memory is failing - Publisher 2000 must have behaved differently (I have vague memories of this coming back to me now). Publisher 2002 behaves more consistently in this regard. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org

But if you click while the cross above the Move Van is on the text box outline then the box will be selected and there will be NO insertion point in the text then the delete key will delete the box and the text. The only change to this I can see in Pub2003 is that the little van picture has gone but the cross remains with the same function. Ther are other times when the box alone should be selected with no insertion point in the text. For instance a Text Box can be moved with the left right up down kews only when just the box is selected. -- John G.
Greentest1I feel I answered this most effectively tho no one admitted it, 1) Click on the text object, or anywhere in it... 2) Hold down the shift key, then hit the delete key IT'S GONE! (as an aside: if it don't work on the first shift+delete, just shift+delete again! either way it takes one second to do. How much time you need to save??)

That is NOT how it works on my machine. If I click INSIDE the text box, an insertion is always appears somewhere in the text. The whole text is never selected unless I click and drag across trhe text. >But if you click while the cross above the Move Van is on the text box >outline then the box will be selected and there will be NO insertion >point in the text then the delete key will delete the box and the text. That is NOT how it works on my machine.

It sounds like they fixed this on 2003 if it works as you say. It does not work like that on my copy of 2000. >Ther are other times when the box alone should be selected with no >insertion point in the text. Not on my copy of 2000. >For instance a Text Box can be moved with the left right up down keys >only when just the box is selected. Not on my copy of 2000. There is no way to select the text box without the insertion point. With the insertion point present, the arrow keys with the Alt key will move the box. The arrows by themselves move the insertion point within the text. Are you actually testing on 2000 or are you testing on 2003 and speculating about 2000? Almost nothing you say about 2000 is accurate -- at least not on my copy. -- Running Publisher 2K SP-3 in Office 2K OS: Win 2K SP-4 (5.00.2195)

Yes, this works and it is the most efficient solution anyone has suggested. I thought I replied to you, but I must have gotten caught up testing the various solutions and forgot. >(as an aside: if it don't work on the first shift+delete, just >shift+delete again! either way it takes one second to do. How much time >you need to save??) It's not only about saving 1-2 clicks or keystrokes. It's mainly about consistency. I use many different applications (Word, Excel, Publisher, Visio, Quicken, Access, Powerpoint, etc.). I would like the basic editing functions to all work the same way so I don't have to learn a different set of methods for each application. I realizd that MSFT cannot control how Quicken works, but I expect the office suite to all work the same way. MSFT is collecting obscene profits. Publisher 2000 is broken. They should use some of that largesse to write more stable and consistent software. It appears that this one little glitch may have been fixed in 2003. -- Running Publisher 2K SP-3 in Office 2K OS: Win 2K SP-4 (5.00.2195)
My apologies to LurfysMa and Steven in NC. I tried this problem in PUB 2003 and looked back at the older vresion I have installed. It was Pub 2002 rather then 2000. I installed Pub 95 and it works just as you say so I can only say you are quite correct in the way Pub 2000 works to delete a text box but it changes at Pub 2002 to the way I described. -- John G.
