Changing position and size of a picture<br />

A picture inserted with the Object > New Picture command is treated by Text-<br />

Maker like a character within the text. When you want to change the position of<br />

such a picture, all you need to do is cut it and paste it at another place using the<br />

familiar Edit menu commands.<br />

The size of such a picture can be changed in either of two ways:<br />

Dragging the boundary lines<br />

Click on the picture to select it. When the picture is selected, red lines are<br />

displayed on its borders. When you drag one of these lines with the mouse, the<br />

size of the picture is changed accordingly.<br />

Entering values manually after double clicking<br />

Double click on the picture to bring up a dialog box where you can change the<br />

picture’s properties (see also the next section). Switch to the dialog’s Format<br />

property sheet and enter the desired measurements in the Size group box.<br />

Changing the properties of pictures<br />

The Object > Properties command gives you access to a dialog where all the<br />

properties of an object can be edited. An object’s properties include, for example,<br />

its size and margins, along with numerous other properties that you can set.<br />

To modify the properties of a picture, first select the picture with a mouse click.<br />

Then invoke the Object > Properties command to bring up the associated dialog.<br />

Tip: This command can also be invoked by double-clicking on the picture.<br />

The following settings can be made in this dialog:<br />

Layout, Format, Filling, etc. property sheets<br />

FreeOffice: In <strong>SoftMaker</strong> FreeOffice, the property sheets Shadow and Effects<br />

you to modify the following settings:<br />
