: Select compound paths under a path but keep edges Background: I've created a word cloud, and I'd like to clip it to a predefined path. The problem is that words on the edge are getting trimmed

Background: I've created a word cloud, and I'd like to clip it to a predefined path. The problem is that words on the edge are getting trimmed halfway, I'd like to keep the whole word.
The question is: How can I select whole objects under a path the whole object, I've already tried the pathfinder tool and the clipping mask, but they both "cut" the word.
What am I missing ?

Draw your intended path in any way you like;
Select the move tool (black arrow, hotkey V or Esc;
Select your path and then Right-click;
Choose Make Guides;
Choose the lasso tool (Q);
Click and drag the lasso along your newly-made guide shape;
Choose Select > Inverse;
Choose Object > Hide > Selection;

This way, you select all objects outside of your guide, to then hide them. BE warned that the Lasso tool won't snap to the guide you just made, so you'll have to be a bit precise with your selection.
