So you 1. ensure that cua-mode is on 2. get into 'enhanced rectangle' submode of cua with C-RET Unfortunately trying to track some of the available functionality there shows some of those functions as undocumented (eg M-p) So there are 2 doc bugs here: 1. The info page does not spell out the functionality 2. The functions doing that functionality are not properly documented
