15.2.10 Delete Objects and/or Groups
To delete one or more objects and/or groups:
1. Select the objects and/or groups you want to delete.
2. Choose Home | Clipboard | Delete.
If no elements in the document reference any of the selected objects/groups, PlanetPress Design
performs the deletion.
If any elements in the document reference any of the selected objects/groups, PlanetPress Design
prompts you to define how you want to handle the deletion of each of the referenced objects/groups.
More precisely, for each referenced object/group, it displays the Object Deletion dialog box. You use that
dialog box to set the deletion options and perform the deletion.
To use the Object Deletion dialog box:
1. Adjust the options to reflect how you want PlanetPress Design to handle the deletion request. The name
of the object/group you selected for deletion appears in the title bar of the Object Deletion dialog box,
and the list of elements that reference it appear on the right of the dialog box.
Replace reference by: Select to delete the object/group and to replace all references to it with a
reference to another of the objects/groups in the document.
Objects available: Select the object/group you want to use as the replacement reference. When you
delete the object/group, PlanetPress Design replaces all references to the deleted object/group with a
reference to the object/group you select here. You can use the Objects button to create a new object to
add to this list.
Objects button: Use to create a new object. Click and choose the object you want to create.
PlanetPress Design creates the new object and selects it in the Objects available list.
Delete: Select to delete the object/group, and all document elements that reference it. All document
elements that reference this object/group appear in the list on the right of the Object Deletion dialog
box.
