Select as much or as little text as you need in a flash (Illustrator CS/CS2/CS3/CS4)

Illustrator handles text just fine, but Adobe InDesign it isn't. If you're having trouble selecting text, here are some tips to help you get it right. To easily select a paragraph of text, place your insertion point at the beginning of the paragraph and press [shift][command][down arrow] ([Shift][Ctrl][Down Arrow] in Windows) to select that paragraph. If you press the [up arrow] instead, you'll select the paragraph above the insertion point. If you want to add more paragraphs, continue to press either the up or down arrow keys to add to your selection. If you find that you'd like to add just one line at a time, just press [shift] plus either the up or down arrow keys. Finally, if you press [shift] and either the left or right arrow keys, you can adjust your selection one character at a time.
