Grouping and ungrouping objects
You can combine several objects into one by grouping them. You can
then work with the group the way you work with a single object. A
group can include individual objects and other groups.
1 To group objects, select the objects, and then choose Group from the
Arrange menu.
1 To ungroup grouped objects, select the group, and then choose
Ungroup from the Arrange menu.
Keep these points in mind:
1 When you ungroup a group that contains other groups, the subgroups
stay grouped until you ungroup them.
1 You can edit a text object that’s part of a group without ungrouping
it first.
Aligning objects to each other
You can align (line up) objects by their tops, bottoms, or sides. For
example, align a field label with its field so that the label is centered
between the field’s top and bottom border.
When you align a group of objects, they align with the object farthest in
the chosen direction. When you align center points, the objects align
along an invisible vertical or horizontal line in the center of the objects.
You can also distribute the space evenly between objects by dividing the
space that separates the two outermost objects between all selected objects.
