Distribute Horizontally
Distribute Vertically
The last two commands work only when at least three objects are selected. These
commands are used to distribute the selected objects evenly within the area they
occupy, so that the spacings between them are equal.
Duplicating objects
To obtain a duplicate of an object, you can copy it to the clipboard the usual way
and then reinsert it.
Alternatively, you can use the Edit > Duplicate command. This command immediately
creates a copy of the selected object.
Tip: Duplicating an object is even faster with the mouse: when you drag an
object while holding down the (Ctrl) key you obtain a duplicate of the object.
However, this works only with frames and drawings.
Changing the properties of objects
An object’s properties include its size, fill style, line style, etc. The Object >
Properties command provides one place to access all properties for editing or
viewing.
To modify the properties of an object, first select the object with a mouse click
(text frames can be selected by clicking on the object’s border only). Then invoke
the Object > Properties command to bring up the associated dialog.
Tip: For most types of objects, double clicking on the object (or its border)
provides a quick alternative way to invoke this command.
The dialog contains several property sheets. You can switch among them by clicking
on the index tabs.
On the next pages, you will find detailed information on each property sheet and
the options it contains.
