Pages: Selecting Multiple Sections

Learning how to use Apple's Pages. One thing that I can't figure out is how to select multiple items/sections. In Microsoft Word, the equivalent would be to select one item/section, and then press and hold "Control" ("Command") while you click to include other items/sections in the selection. This allows me to select multiple, disjoint sections for copying, editing, etc. and is quite useful. Does Pages have a similar function?
