selecting and grouping the label fields,rectangles, and such

In producing the forms I need to generate, I have dozens and doezens of rectangles and label fields.

Is there a decent way to select and group them at the same time? I've found the application browser, but when there's enough fields to fill over two screens, control-clicking each one doesn't work very well.

Te best bet would seem to be a script that adds all items meeting a criterion to a the existing selection (and I'd like to be able to add things to groups, but I haven't found a way to do this, either).

I'd like them to remain visible without being easily selectable, and to flip the whole group in and out of selectability when I need to maintain them.

Dear Hawk,

Please read the part about menus in the Revolution manual, which is included with Revolution as a PDF.

To answer your question, just select the objects you want to group and choose "Group Objects" from the menu. Don't select objects that belong to two different groups already.

Best,

Mark
