I asked this a couple of years ago but have lost my printout.
How do I drag a cropping outline over the text on a page and then delete the
contents, thus giving me a way of deleting everything to the right of a
desired page width?
I hope this is unambiguous.
Thanks

If you are asking how to select and delete a vertical block of text, hold down
the Alt key while dragging the mouse, or press Ctrl+Shift+F8 and use the arrow
keys to define the selection, and press the Delete key to delete the selection.
Unless every line ends with a hard return, the remaining text will re-wrap and
fill in the area where the vertical text block was deleted, so this isn't really
"cropping" in the usual sense. Did I answer your question?
