Moving and resizing popovers
You can move popover buttons and resize popover buttons and popovers.
To move a popover button (and its popover):
• In Layout mode, drag the popover button to the new location.
When you move a popover button, its associated popover and all objects on the popover move
with it.
See Moving objects on a layout.
To resize or reshape a popover button or popover:
1. In Layout mode, select the popover button or the popover.
If the popover is hidden, double-click the popover button.
2. Drag a selection handle to change the size or shape of the popover button or popover.
See Resizing and reshaping objects.
Notes
• If you make a popover smaller, the objects on it may become truncated or hidden.
Truncated or hidden objects are still part of the popover. When you open the popover in
Browse mode or Find mode, scroll bars appear, allowing access to all objects on the
popover.
• If necessary, you can place a popover button close to the edge of the layout’s viewing area.
If the popover’s display direction will extend the popover beyond the viewing area, the
popover will open in the direction in which it is most visible. Scroll bars appear on the
popover, if needed, to allow you to display all the objects on the popover.
• You can’t move, resize, or reshape a locked popover button. See Protecting objects from
change.
