Object list (a dropdown list of all objects in the document, as described below)<br />

* Not all versions of TextMaker have this feature.<br />

Object list: At the very right of the object toolbar, a dropdown list with the names of<br />

all objects existing in the current document is displayed. Open this list and when<br />

you click on the name of an object, the corresponding object will be selected.<br />

You can refer to the section on “Changing the names of objects” beginning on page<br />

253 to learn why objects have names and how these names can be changed.<br />

Selecting objects in Object mode<br />

In Object mode you can select any type of object simply by clicking on it with the<br />

mouse.<br />

This is very useful, especially for objects with transparent fills (e.g. text frames). In<br />

Edit mode, an object of this type can be selected only by aiming at its border and<br />

then clicking. In Object mode, such an object can be selected simply by clicking<br />

anywhere on it.<br />

In Object mode you can also select multiple objects at once, provided they are<br />

frames or drawings. To do this, draw a rectangle around the desired objects with<br />

the mouse. Alternatively, you can click successively on several objects while<br />

holding down the Shift key (Shiftª) to select them together.<br />
