Bookshelf: Cannot Use Mouse to Select More Than One Media Type (177876)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Bookshelf 98 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q177876

SUMMARY

You cannot use your pointing device to select more than one type of media from an article in Microsoft Bookshelf 98. For example, if you open the dictionary article about Christopher Columbus, you can use the pointing device to select either the article text or the image, but you cannot select both the text and the image at the same time.

NOTE: This issue does not occur in Microsoft Bookshelf 99.

MORE INFORMATION

If you want to copy text and media together from a Bookshelf 98 article and paste it into another program, use the following steps:
  1. On the Search All tab or the Find Media tab, click the article you want to copy text and media from.
  2. On the Edit menu, click Copy.
  3. Switch to the program into which you want to paste the text and media you just copied.
  4. On the Edit menu, click Paste.
NOTE: Because these steps copy the entire contents of the article, you may want to delete unwanted sections of the article. To do so, select the text or media you want to delete, and then press the DELETE key.
