Cool using sigil to make changes befote conversion

hi, i usually restrict my participation to the calibre and kindle forums, but this question belongs here i believe.

there's a known problem with some epubs that when converted to mobi (using calibre) leave a fairly wide and unnecessay left margin. to fix this i just finished doing this (afterwards it converts w/o the expanded left margin).

i opened the epub in sigil and then opened all the pieces of the text portion. one by one i separately selected all the text in each of the pieces and then i pressed the decrease indent button at the top (again one by one) to get rid of the offending left margin.

is there any 'select all' function like the standard in windows (in the edit pull down)? further, is there any 'select all' for all the pieces at once? and lastly, is there a better way to accomplish this end result?

thanks
