Question

If one has a row of images there is a way to add them all with the help of "control" and another button, maybe "Alt", but am not sure which second button?

Select all of the text in your document or on your screen by holding down the "Ctrl" key and pressing the letter "A". 18 Tech Support Reps Are Online! Microsoft Answers Today: 65. Remember the "Select All" shortcut ("Ctrl+A") by associating the letter "A" with the word "All".
