Trouble selecting multiple graphics

[Fred Ridder]

That help topic is discussing multiple *graphic objects* (within the same frame or on the same page), not multiple *frames*.  Frames are containers that have their own set of properties that are quite different from the graphic objects they contain.

Really? Then why does the online FrameMaker 11 help say (or seem to say) that you can?

And what the heck kind of workflow is that... making you click and copy/paste or whatever three, four, five times instead of once?

   You cannot select more than one graphic frame, anchored or unanchored, at a time.

     Hi Framers,
     

     
I'm not able to select multiple graphic frame objects. Diagonal dragging to encompass the objects with an invisible border only selects the last one over which the cursor passes. Using the shift-click-drag method gives the same result. Clicking the individual items' edge, with and without any modifier key I can think of, gives the same result. These graphic frames are not anchored. They often overlap the main text flow frame, but are not fully within it. 
     
 
     
Ctrl+A grabs the main flow and any graphic fully within its text frame, but no graphics that partly overlap the frame. On a page with no main flow elements, ctrl+A grabs all text frames but only two of three graphic frames.
     
 
     
I've tried both the smart arrow cursor and the dumb one.
     

     
What am I missing?
     

     

     Frame 11.0.1.382, Windows 7.
    
 
    
     
Thanks,
     
Karen
