Hmmm, now that you mention it, I don't see a Menu or Tool Bar either...duh.
OK, aside from selecting the first and last with the shift key, any other
way
to Select All?


You still haven't said where. But regardless of what program you are
talking about, or even what version of Windows you are talking about,
use Ctrl-A.

You would think.

In this newsreader (MesNews), if I press Ctrl-A while the message
window is active, then all the headers in the headers window get
selected.

That is, of course, pretty bizarre, IMO.

Do NOT need to highlight just get focus in the place you want and
then
Ctrl A

Only if you have set your Folder Options for that.

Ctrl + A will select all items in the active window, nothing to do
with
folder options

Do you have a point?
Did you read what I replied to?
Read it again.
Now don't you think you should butt-out?

As Trev said, it has nothing to do with folder options.


Nah, Jack just doesn't know how to post a reply to the correct message in
the thread.

Jack is a lot smarter than either of you. Jack replied to: "Do NOT need to

You either have to click somewhere in the window, or you have to have your
folder options set for "Point to select" to get focus. (Clicking somewhere
in the window _is_ highlighting it.)
