Selecting 2 or more objects! (Please help)

[Barryk webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi there,

I've recently bought Fireworks2004.
When I try to select 2 or more objects for cropping, joining objects, putting text on a path etc. it doesn't happen!
Each time I attempt to select the second object the first object then becomes deselected and I can't therefore do any of the above functions.

Please forgive my lack of knowledge...but

1. Must they be vector objects?
2. Do they need to be (un)grouped?
3. Should I see both/all objects selected(i.e. blue/red points on the paths/corners? Because I never see more than one like this at any one time!

I believe this is a basic question but sadly it's got me stumped!
Can anyone see where my problem is?

Thank you!

Ooops! Figured it out!

"Hold the shift key"!

I told you it was a basic question!

you can also click and drag a selection around both objects if there's room
