You'd need a script.

Peter's answer is correct IF you have multiple layers. If you have a single layer, make the Layers panel visible. Option/Alt-click the name of the single layer and all the objects in that layer are selected.

Peter is right on this and I think we already have the script for this in InDesign.

Go to Scripts Panel and check the "Select Object" script , it works on the active page or spread only not on the complete document.

this script didn't work for me. It shows an error message. I tryed find/change object panel but it is still limited. I just needed to convert all text to curves so what I did was just select all objects and use shortcut cmd+shft+o and it converts only text on each page.

Well, that would be outside what is generally considered "normal" workflow, so you won't find a built-in feature that makes it easy. Frame/object selection is indeed limited to a single page in InDesign. The only cross-page selection possibility is threaded text.

Why do you need to convert all your text to outlines?

Well I would normally not do that but I am creatring a broshure which is downloaded from the clients website. Web developers said there was a problem downloading PDF file and sugested to convert all text to outlines in order to eliminate it as a possible reason.
