Select Items in the Log Header/Footer

Use your mouse to position the screen pointer on the item, and single-click it.
The selected item should appear with "handles" in the upper-left corner (static text), on either end (lines) or on all corners (other header/footer items).

Use your mouse to position the screen pointer on an item and click the left button once.
Then, hold the Ctrl key down while you select another item.
You may continue in this manner to select multiple items.
All selected items will appear with "handles" on their corners.

OR

Use the screen pointer to "draw" a rectangular region within the header or footer. Any items in whole or in part within that bounding rectangle will appear selected (with "handles").

Use your mouse to click in the pane of the items to be selected.
Choose the Edit | Select All in Active Designer option.
LogPlot will select all of the items in the pane.

With a log design displayed on the screen, access the Item View at the bottom of the program window.
The program will display a listing of all of the items in the current log design.
To access a specific item, scroll down the list as necessary until you see it, and left-click once to select it. When selected, it will appear highlighted. (You can sort the entity list using any of the columns - name, type, etc.)
Click on the Edit button to display this item’s settings.
Edit the settings as you wish, or simply press OK or Cancel to close the settings window.
The item will remain active when you are returned to the design window.

Once an item is selected, you can view or change the item’s settings by right-clicking on the item and selecting Edit Entity.

Because you can overlay items in a log design, it can be difficult to click on an item that’s stacked on the "bottom of the pile." Log Designer contains a "Send to Back" command that changes the stacking order of the entities on the screen.
Use your mouse to position the screen pointer on the item that is blocking the item you wish to select, and single-click it.
The selected item should appear with "handles" on either end (if it is a line) or on all four corners (all other header/footer items).
Select the Edit | Send to Back command.
The selected item will now be displayed behind other items in the design, allowing you to click on them to move them or to access their settings.
