I can tell you how you can select text across page boundaries in Pages. I
explained this in an earlier post. So, I don’t know if you saw it and are not
interested, or if you didn’t see it, so I will post it again.
What you will be able to do is:
1. Move the insertion to a point on a page and press control-space to set a
mark.
2. Move the insertion point to another point either on the same page or a
different page.
3. Press control-x control-x to select text from the mark to the cursor.
You have to do some things to set that up.
1. Create a folder in ~/Library called KeyBindings.
2. Copy the following into a text file and save it to the KeyBindings folder
as DefaultKeyBinding.dict.
{
"^y" = "yankAndSelect:"; //control-y
"^\@" = "setMark:"; //control-@
"^w" = "deleteToMark:"; //control-w
"^x" = { //control-x control-x
"^x" = "selectToMark:";
};
"^ " = "setMark:"; //control-space
"~f" = "moveWordForward:"; //option-f
"~b" = "moveWordBackward:"; //option-b
}
This is mine at it has some other bindings that you may not be interested in,
but you don’t need to worry about them.
Now, restart the app if need be it it should work.
You will also have this functionality in most other text apps on your system
including mail and Textedit.
Note that this will allso copy the page break. If you are not wanting to do
that, there is a way around that too, but I will only go in to that if I know
you are interested.
Hope you find this helpful.

Hi,
since Yosemite - at least am I aware of it since then - it’s not possible to
highlight text that contains more then one page of text.
I tried to highlight more then one page in Pages and Textedit pressing on top
of the page CMD + a or Shift + End. If I try to highlight text manually using
Shift + arrow down VO anounces something like „not highlighted“ as soon as I
reach the boarder of the first page.
So, is anyone aware of this issue and knows a work around?
Thanks and all the best
Jürgen
