Default Illustrator question: selecting multiple text
is there a way to select and highlight multiple pieces of text? I have a paragraph and want to change some words to bold that are scattered throughout but for now I have to select one word, change it, go back to the text tool, select the next word, change it, repeat... is there a way to allow me to select multiple words within the same text block? this is a pain in the arse...

cheers

this is where someone says you shouldn't be laying out text in Illustrator. BASTARDS.

(i don't know of a way, sorry)
