Default Multi-Selection with Hand-writing draw tool

Hey guys, So I'm a student using latest version of Office 365.
I'm using leptop Lenovo C340 which is also a tablet that comes with a pan.
I found out that Word have a "Draw" tab which is awesome but one thing that prevent me from moving from OneNote to Office Word is a multi-selection option which let me to move around with my pen and make a delimitation of all the objects(words,paragraphs) that I wrote down using my hand-writing pan.
In Word the only thing I can do is just select object-by-object and move groups that the office create by itself, this thing limits me SO SO MUCH and that's the only reason I'm not moving to use office as my notebook at class.

Why the hell office didn't make such basic thing like that, so many people are moving to work with tablet especially to iPads, why office wouldn't make a feature like that?
Am I wrong and there is actually an option like that and I didn't notice?
Thanks in advance!

The last button on the Home ribbon tab is Select. It drops down and you can choose to Select Objects. This allows you to multi-select shapes either by lassoing or click + Ctrl-Click

Word is not a drawing tool so this functionality is rarely used and I guess that is why Microsoft didn't bother making this button more obvious.

Thanks but it seems obvious if there is an option of "Draw" tab on Word then it suppose to give the basic option to select multiple word like you can do in OneNote..
It's like making half of the job don't you think?
I mean.. if there were not such a thing like that "Draw" tab, I wouldn't say a thing
BUT there is, So why not get more users using the Office software and make a complete workspace for people who use tablets.
More than that, That's weird that there's no such an option to select the template background that lets you pick page with lind or squares(for Math class).
Maybe it's just me think too much lol
