Is there a keyboard shortcut to select all paths in PS 7? This is when I’m using the paths palette and not shapes.

No.

Hold down the option key and marquee select all paths on one path layer. The option key guarantees that you will have solid points on all paths, completely selected, even if you miss a point and only select a portion of a path.

Path layers are only individually selectable.

The paths do have to be on the same Path palette Layer.
Then you can use the "Arrow" tools to select them all. There is no keyboard shortcut way to do that that I am aware of.

new path

copy

paste each path element from every path container.

Interaction of path cross contents can get ugly.

Sorry to take so long to get back to you all. Thanks for your replies.

The reason I ask the question is that I use paths for package dielines a lot and sometime they go off the edge of the canvas. To select all the dielines I have to zoom way out and it’s a pain.

Thanks again,
Mark Durgee
