Selecting by Structure
The structure view is especially convenient for quickly selecting large
elements or groups of elements within a document.
To select an element:
  - There are three ways to select a large element like a complex table or
    a long list with a single click: Click the blue label that represents the
    element, click the name of any of its attributes, or click the blue
    vertical line associated with that element.
To select a text character or text string within
a structure:
  - Click a text character in Structure view to select only that character.
    To select a text string, click and drag across the text.
To select an attribute value:
  - In Structure view, attribute values that can be edited from the
    keyboard are represented in bold text. Click and drag across the
    attribute value to select it. You cannot extend this type of text
    selection outside the attribute value.
To select structure elements using the
keyboard:
  - Press the Esc key on Unix or the F2key on Windows to select the parent element in the document structure.
    Press the key several times to select containers (and everything in them)
    up the structure towards the root.
- Press Ctrl - (minus key) to select a child element.
    
  
- Press Ctrl k to select the next element at the same level,
    or at the level of the parent element if there is no next or previous
    child of the current level.
    
  
- Press Ctrl j to select the previous element at the same
    level, or at the level of the parent element if there is no previous
    child of the current level.
