To be able to modify, move or delete a closed path, select it first.

1.With the normal tool 182_cursor_16, select a text frame, a box, or a image which contains one or more closed paths.
2.With the polygon tool 15_polygon_16, click any node on the path you want to select, and then move the tool slightly, so its modifier turns into + sign.

3.Press ALT+Z to select all points on the path.
Note: if it does not work, ensure that the modifier of the polygon tool shows the + sign.
The selection is marked with large square handles, visible different of hollow smaller handles on unselected path (on the right side).

Now you can move, modify or delete the selected path.
