Before timeline elements (fact boxes, text boxes and pictures) can be edited, they must be selected. When you select an element, eight small selection indicators appear around the perimeter of the element to confirm your choice.
Selecting multiple elements can make it easier to edit your timeline. When you do, the changes you make affect all the elements you have selected. Suppose you want to change the font style and size used for all of your fact boxes. You do not have to select each individual box to make the same changes. Instead press CTRL+A, which selects all fact boxes, and make the changes once by double-clicking on a selected fact box to open a properties dialog box.
Timeline view elements include fact and text boxes, and pictures.
You can also click in a blank area of the timeline, then press and hold the left mouse key while dragging it through the fact boxes you want to select.
