Multiple selection within phrase with 'Trim' function.

Posted

It would be nice to be able to select multiple portions of the phrase prior to applying 'Trim.'

 

While 'Clear' permits removing parts of the phrase while maintaining the linear structure of the phrase, multiple selected portions 'trimmed' seemingly could create a new phrase quickly and easily by removing the gaps and creating a different linear structure.

 

I know the same can be accomplished with clearing, cutting and pasting, but this takes a lot of steps.

 

Perhats the Cntrl key could be used in conjunction with the tool to make multiple selections before initiating the 'Trim?'

Cool idea. The span tool does not support multiple selections yet.

Should be extremely difficult to do though. Excel and Numbers can do that.

I hope you meant to say: It should NOT be extremely difficult ... :)
