Manage grouped objects

The following restrictions apply in this version of the application:

•A shape or group of objects that has been expanded using a third-party editor may not be displayed correctly as part of the group.

•You cannot resize expanded shapes and groups of objects. But if this shape or group is part of another group, its size changes proportionally to other objects in this group.

•Pasting copied or cut object groups into MyOffice Text and MyOffice Spreadsheet applications is not supported.

To select a group of objects, click any object in the group. When you select a group, its common borders are highlighted. The borders of individual objects are not highlighted.

You can do the following actions with a group of objects:

•Format: For example, change the fill color and outline of objects or change the parameters of text located inside shapes.

•Move: Moving a group of objects is done similarly to moving objects (for example, shapes).

•Resize: Similar to resizing objects.

•Change position: Similar to changing the position of objects.

•Copy, cut and paste.

You can select any of the objects in a group and change its parameters or delete it.

To select an object in a group, select the group and then click to select the desired object in the group. To switch to the edit mode of an object, select it with a double click.

To move sequentially between objects in a group, press  Tab.

To sequentially edit and format the content of each object in the group, move between objects using ←, →, ↑, and ↓ keys while holding  Cmd down.

You can cut and copy objects within a group. When pasting, these objects are pasted outside the group.

Moving and zooming objects within a group is not supported.

To clear the selection from an object within a group and select the entire group of objects, click the group frame.
