An easy way to select multiple objects in Pages Apps
When wanting to select multiple objects in Pages at once, you could do it the typical Mac way -- hold down Command and then click on each object you wish to add to the group. However, when you have a lot of objects to select, this quickly becomes tedious. Here's another means of selecting multiple objects...

First click on any object to select it. Then hold down Shift or Command and drag-click to get a selection box which will select the rest of the objects. So far I can't see a difference in using the Shift key vs the Command key modifier. This feature comes in very useful when wanting to group many objects together so they can be moved and resized as one object.

you don't have to drag over your selection :-)

Use command key to highlight first object then move mouse pointer to end of desired collection, hold shift and click. Hey Presto! all objects between first and last are now highlighted
