Changing the size and margins of objects
You can change the sizes and the margins of objects as follows:
To change the size of an object, select it with a mouse click and then drag any
of the red lines that mark the borders of the object (or the “handles” at the corners
of these lines) until the object is the desired size.
For frames and drawings, it is also possible the change the outside margins:
The inside (solid) lines bordering the object are for changing the object’s size.
When you drag one of these lines, the object is enlarged or reduced accordingly.
The outside (dashed) lines are for changing the object’s outside margins.
When you drag one of these lines, only the margins are changed.
Preventing changes in an object's position and size
By locking an object you can prevent it from being moved or resized with the
mouse or the keyboard arrow keys.
To lock an object, first select it. Then invoke Object > Properties, switch to the
Properties property sheet and check the Locked option.
Now the object can no longer be moved with the mouse and its size cannot be
changed by dragging its border. Nor is it any longer possible to move the object
with the keyboard arrow keys. The only way to change the object’s position or size
is to enter values in the Object > Properties dialog box.
By unchecking the Locked option, you can re-enable changes to the object’s
position and size with the mouse.
