Changing position and size of an OLE object
An OLE object inserted with the Object > New OLE Object command is treated
by TextMaker like a character within the text. When you want to change the
position of such an object, all you need to do is cut it and paste it at another place
using the familiar Edit menu commands.
The size of an OLE object can be changed in either of two ways:
Dragging the boundary lines
Click on the OLE object to select it. When the object is selected, red lines are
displayed on its borders. When you drag one of these lines with the mouse, the
size of the object is changed accordingly.
Entering values manually
You can also enter precise numeric values for the size and margins of an OLE
object. To do this, select the object with a (single!) mouse click and then invoke
the Object > Properties command. A dialog box appears to facilitate changes
to the object’s properties (see also the next section). Switch to the dialog’s
Format property sheet and enter the desired measurements in the Size group
box.
Changing the properties of OLE objects
The Object > Properties command gives you access to a dialog where all the
properties of an object can be edited. An object’s properties include, for example,
its size and margins, along with numerous other properties that you can set.
To modify the properties of an OLE object, first select it with a mouse click. Then
invoke the Object > Properties command to bring up the associated dialog.
The following settings can be made in this dialog:
Layout, Format, Filling, etc. property sheets
FreeOffice: In SoftMaker FreeOffice, the property sheets Shadow and Effects
are not available.
