Working with Objects

Publication 2711-6.0

Before you can move, size or format an object you must first select
the object. A selected object has handles.

To select an object:

Position the mouse pointer anywhere on the object and press the left
mouse button. Handles appear on the object.

A line has one handle at each end. Rectangles and squares have
handles around their edges. Other objects (ellipses and circles) have
handles around an invisible bounding box.

To deselect an object:

Position pointer outside the object and press the left mouse
button.

Or select another object.

To select multiple objects:

1. Position pointer above and to the left of the objects you want to

group.

2. Press the left mouse button and drag a selection rectangle around

the objects.

3. Release the mouse button.

key and click on each object. To add or remove an object from the
selection, hold down the

SHIFT

key and click on the object.

To select all objects:

Choose Select All from the Edit menu.

Handles appear on all objects to show that they’re all selected.
