Rearranging Stacked Objects<br />
When you’re copying and pasting multiple objects onto the same page, they often become<br />
stacked on top of one another. You may want to rearrange them to reveal an object hidden<br />
within the stack.<br />
Select the Bring Forward and Send Backward commands in the Draw > Order menu<br />
(Windows operating systems only) to rearrange selected overlapped objects − one position at<br />
a time − for selective visibility. The Bring to Front and Send to Back commands in the Draw<br />
> Order menu (Windows operating systems) or the Draw menu (Mac 8.5 − 9.x operating<br />
systems) take selected objects all the way to the front or rear of the stack.<br />
NOTE: This feature isn't available for Mac OS X operating system.<br />
Resizing Objects<br />
You can resize any object by dragging its resize handles until it’s the right shape and size.<br />
To resize a selected object:<br />
1 Select the object to be resized according to the instructions on page 50.<br />
2 Move the cursor over any of the eight resize handles.<br />
The cursor will change to a two-headed arrow.<br />
3 Press and drag the two-headed arrow cursor to enlarge or contract the object.<br />
To maintain the original height-to-width ratio of a geometric object, press the Shift key<br />
and drag one of the four diagonal resize handles located in each corner of the<br />
selection rectangle, as shown in the figure below.<br />
Diagonal Resize Handles<br />
NOTE: You can change the size of a text box, but the contents will remain unaltered.<br />
Contracting or enlarging a text box will only change the dimensions of the box and the<br />
way in which the text wraps within that box. To change text size, press the Font Size<br />
button or select Font from the Format menu, then select a different point size from the<br />
Font dialog box.<br />
Changing Object Attributes<br />
You can change the color, font style and size of any text object: You can also change the<br />
color and line width of any graphical object you create. After selecting the object, you can use<br />
the Notebook software toolbar buttons, right-mouse commands (Windows operating<br />
systems) or the Pen Tray tools to effect an attribute change.<br />
To change the visual attributes of an object:<br />
1 Select the object(s) you want to change.<br />
2 To change the color or line width of the object:<br />
