Working with Objects 65
To set two or more objects to the same horizontal or
vertical size as the last selected object, you can use
Arrange>Size Objects....
You can also make fine resizing adjustments from the
Transform tab.
To resize freely:
• Drag from a corner (or line end) handle.
To constrain a shape, frame object, or table object when resizing:
• Hold the Shift key down and drag from a corner (or line end) handle.
For shapes, this has the effect of keeping a square as a square, a circle as a
circle, etc.
For pictures, dimensions are constrained on dragging a
corner handle. Use Shift-drag to resize a picture freely.
Ordering objects
Each new page or master page consists of a single layer. One layer may be
enough to accommodate the elements of a particular layout, but you can create
additional layers as needed. On each layer, objects such as text frames and
pictures are stacked in the order you create them, from back to front, with each
new object in front of the others. You can change the stacking order, which
affects how objects appear on the page.
To shift the selected object's position to the bottom or top of the
stack:
• Click Send to Back or Bring to Front on the Arrange
toolbar, respectively.
