If you want to select a single symbol, click on it with your mouse. However, this can be a little tricky if the symbol contains text or if the border is not visible. If the symbol contains text, you need to click on the border of the symbol, otherwise, clicking in the center will select the text frame inside the symbol. If you already have one or more symbols selected, you can select additional symbols by holding the Shift key down while you click on other symbols. If the symbol has no border (such as a text box used for a branch label), then you can either click around the region until it's finally selected or use Method 2 (recommended).

Method 2 - The Select Shapes Tool

The Select Objects Tool can be accessed by clicking Select Shapes from the FlowBreeze toolbar. This will change the mouse pointer to a thick white arrow. You can then select symbols by clicking on the sheet with the left mouse button and dragging around one or more symbols that you wish to select. The symbols must be completely enclosing within the dashed line boundaries, as show in the picture below. If you release the left mouse button with only half of the symbol encompassed, it will not be selected.

Important: If you use this tool, you cannot select worksheet cells normally again until click Select Objects again to toggle it off.
