Selecting multiple objects

You can select multiple objects, including text, field, chart, map, bitmap, OLAP grid, Cross-Tab and OLE objects, to format them together.

Once you have selected multiple objects, you can move, align, size, cut, and copy and paste them as a group. You can also change their font, color, and paragraph style.

Objects are moved, aligned, and sized based on a "main" object, which is usually the last object you select. You can change the main object to another by right-clicking the desired object.

Note:    When moving multiple objects, if the new location does not accommodate all of the selected objects, but can accommodate the main object, then the main object and those objects that can be accommodated will be moved. The other objects will remain in their original position.

To select multiple objects

1. Click one object, and Ctrl-click the other objects you want to select.
2. Right-click the main object.
3. On the short-cut menu, select the appropriate formatting option.
