Deleting Objects
To delete objects:
Select the object(s) and press the Delete key. m
If you accidentally delete an object, choose Edit > Undo Delete.
Moving and Positioning Objects
Numbers provides several tools to help you arrange items on a sheet with great
precision, including customizable alignment guides. Objects can be grouped
together, making it easier to manipulate sets of objects, and locked into position to
prevent them from being moved while you work. In addition, objects can be layered
(overlapped) to create the eect of depth.
Here are ways to manipulate objects directly:
To move a table to a new location on a sheet, use the techniques described in “ m Moving
Tables” on page 52.
To move other objects, drag them. Avoid dragging objects by their selection handles
because you may inadvertently resize them.
To precisely align objects as you drag them around, you can use alignment guides. See m
“Using Alignment Guides” on page 216 for details.
To constrain the object’s motion to horizontal, vertical, or a 45-degree angle, start m
dragging the object while holding down the Shift key.
To move a selected object in small increments, press one of the arrow keys, causing m
the object to move a point at a time. To move the object ten points at a time, hold
down the Shift key while pressing an arrow key.
To show the position of the object when you move it, choose Numbers > Preferences, m
and then select “Show size and position when moving objects” in the General pane.
To move text or an object inside another object, select the object and choose Edit > m
Cut. Place the insertion point where you want the object to appear, and then choose
Edit > Paste.
