Footers and objects that stretch with the page
In a typical website document not all pages are the same length and you may have objects that you want
to remain a fixed distance from the bottom of the page, even if you make the page longer or shorter. We
call these footer objects. You may also have shapes that form the background of your page, which need
to stretch or contract if the page length changes, so that they always fit the page nicely. The Position on
page
sub-menu in the context menu allows you to make objects behave in these ways.
Right click on an object and look at the Position on page
sub-menu. This menu lets you control how the object should behave when the page size changes.
The top four entries in the sub-menu behave as a radio group (that is, you can only select one of them for
a given object).
Fixed
This is the default option and the setting for the vast majority of objects in a document. The position of
the object is fixed with respect to the top of the page and so it will never move when the page length
changes.
Footer
This marks the object as being a footer object. It will always maintain the same distance from the bottom
of the page, so if you extend your page the object will move down by the same amount. Also if you copy
the object and Paste in place
it to a page of a different length, the object will be placed the same distance from the bottom of that other
page.
If you make a repeating object a footer, it will be positioned the same distance from the bottom of each
page.
