Add the lasso select tool to Word
Please add the Lasso Select tool to the Word (2019) Draw tab.
Click File > Options > Quick Access Toolbar, choose the "All Commands" category and locate Select Objects. Click the Add button to add it to the QAT. Also, make sure that you choose "For all documents (default)" in the "Customize Quick Access Toolbar" drop down. See screen shot.
Thanks, I tried this solution and it was good but it is not like Lasso select tool; Do I need to have special access to use this tool? Is there a solution? (My Word version is 2019 and I recently updated it.)
Select Objects does let you use drag & drop to select all objects in an area of a Word document. It is working just fine here:
Is it not working for you?
Or are you looking for some other tool?
I want all the components I draw to be separable, for example, the number 2 can be separated from x ^ 2, which with this tool will not be separable all the components, but can be done with the Lasso select tool.
It can be seen in the picture.OK, you are referring to the Ink Selection tool. I don't think you can add that particular command to the Quick Access Toolbar (but I could be wrong). I haven't managed to locate it at least. 😞
