Thank you but the solution does not work:

1. I mark the first item.

2. I try to mark the second item -- holding down the control key.

3. Everything below the first marked item is marked.

4. How would I mark that just that second item?

How would I select/mark non-contiguous items?

Thank you,

Barry Karas

P.S. I use Windows XP with SP 2.

You can't select non-contiguous text anywhere, as far as I know.

An "item" is not a section of text within a post, or the like. An item is a file within a folder, or a cell within a spread***, plus similar objects.

If you open Explore, click a file, then scroll down, press Ctrl as you click another item both will be highlighted.

If you open Explore, press Ctrl/A to select all files in a folder in the r-h pane, you can then press the Ctrl key as you click individual highlighted items to toggle them to selected (highlighted) or not.

hth,
