Note If the AutoGrid is on, you reshape objects in increments defined by
the grid settings. To reshape objects in finer increments, choose AutoGrid
from the Arrange menu to turn the grid off. See “Positioning and sizing
objects” on page 3-39.
Changing lines, colors, and patterns
To set or change preset fill color or pattern, pen color or pattern, or line
or border width, start with no objects selected. Then choose attributes
from the palettes.
Keep these points in mind:
1 To remove a fill pattern or pen pattern from an object, select the
object, and then choose the transparent pattern.
1 To use the attributes of an existing object to set the preset attributes,
hold down Ctrl and click the object.
1 Attributes you set in the Field Borders dialog box for pattern, color,
and width replace attributes set with the pen and width controls in the
status area, and vice versa. See “Adding borders, fill, and baselines to
fields” on page 3-72.
