Assuming we are discussing Adagio Payables...

Highlight the first check in the range, scroll down to the ending check and press shift-click to multi-select the entire range. You can also use ctrl-click to select or de-select one or two checks in the range. (Spacebar will also change a status from Outstanding to Cleared - in case you didn't know.)

Well, I wouldn't say "no plans". In house we felt that the multi-select was as fast, but perhaps we were mistaken. Are you looking for a "Range" button that prompts for the starting and ending number, then the description?
