To select all objects in a document:
 To select all the fixed objects in a document (excluding objects on the section
master), click outside the text area and press Command-A.
 To select all inline objects and text in a text area, place the insertion point in the text
area and press Command-A.
Grouping and Locking Fixed Objects
You can group fixed objects together so that they can be moved, copied, resized, and
oriented as a single object. You can edit text associated with a shape or text object in
a group, but you can’t modify other attributes of individual objects in the group.
You can lock fixed objects to avoid inadvertently moving them as you work. Inline
objects cannot be grouped or locked.
To group objects:
1 Hold down the Command (or Shift) key as you select the objects you want to group
on the page.
Note: Locked objects can’t be grouped.
2 Choose Arrange > Group.
To ungroup a grouped object:
m Select the object and choose Arrange > Ungroup.
Note: A locked group can’t be ungrouped. You must unlock it first.
To lock objects:
1 Hold down the Command (or Shift) key as you select the objects you want to lock.
2 Choose Arrange > Lock.
After you lock individual or grouped objects, you can’t edit them until you unlock
them.
To unlock an object:
m Select the object and choose Arrange > Unlock.
If you frequently group and lock objects on the page, you can add the Group,
Ungroup, Lock, and Unlock buttons to the toolbar. To learn about customizing the
toolbar, see “The Toolbar” on page 30.
