How to Use the Adobe Illustrator Selection Tool
By Eric Miller, About.com Guide
In order to use the selection tool, create two objects on the canvas. (If you are using an existing document, skip this step.) Select a shape tool such as the “rectangle tool” and click and drag on the stage to create a shape. Next, select the “type tool,” click on the stage, and type anything to create a text object. Now that there are some objects on the stage, there is something to select with the selection tool.
