*many thanks. i see you work for adobe. this in unintuitive and couldn't

find answer anywhere on site.*

*

*instead of the way you've got Help set up, just do an old-fashioned index

created by people like you!!

Bernd is not an Adobe employee (STAFF), but a Most Valuable Participant (MVP). If you want to know what this means, you can find it here

http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2327

under MVP badge program. And I am afraid that it is even far less intuitive to get to this information.

yes, i find if i right=click the cell, highlight goes away.

*but here's the harder part. it still is set on highlight and i don't see

how to turn if off if , e.g., i paint text for the purpose of cutting.*

?!?!

*many thx again

I'm having the same problem. How do you turn off the highlighting function so that you can copy text? As far as the Adobe help website, well . . . that's how I got here in the first place.

I just found the answer, and I actually did find it at the Adobe help website. Right click in the document, and when the dropdown menu appears, choose "select tool."

Thank you, thank you. Who were the geniuses who developed the Reader UI? It should be used in a UI design class as an example of how not to do things.
