Selecting and deselecting objects
An object (or frame) must be selected before you can move or change it. As
soon as you release the mouse button after drawing an object, AppleWorks
selects the new object and adds handles.
An object remains selected until you deselect it or select another object.
For more information on selecting objects, see onscreen Help.
To Do this

transparent objects, see “Changing lines, borders,
colors, patterns, and textures” on page 5-9.)

the object.
