Editing Objects in Notebook Software
The annotations you create in Notebook software are individual, selectable objects that can
be edited in a variety of ways.
A selected annotation object can be:
• moved anywhere on the workspace by pressing and dragging the object
• made part of an annotation group with the Group command or removed from an
annotation group with the Ungroup command (Windows and Mac OS 8.5 through 9.x
operating systems only)
• protected from further editing (Windows and Mac OS X operating systems only)
• reordered within an object stack (Windows and Mac OS 8.5 through 9.x operating
systems only)
• resized by pressing and dragging on any one of the eight resize handles
• altered by having its visual attributes changed
• deleted or erased
• undone and/or redone with the Undo and Redo commands
Selecting Objects
In order to move or edit an object, you must first select that object. When an object is
selected, a dotted-line selection rectangle and eight resize handles (four handles if the object
is small) appear in a rectangular formation around the object.
