2. Click Select All on the Edit menu.

Note that because Publisher allows you two layers on which to lay out a publication, objects in
the background page are not selected. You must move background objects to the foreground
page in order to select them. To do this, click Send to Foreground on the Arrange menu. This
may not always be possible for objects on all background pages. To move between foreground
and background pages, press CTRL+M, or click Go to Background or Go to Foreground on the
