Selecting an object
Before you can change any object, you need to select it using one of these tools
from the Tools toolbar:
Pointer Tool
Click to use the Pointer Tool to select, move, copy, resize or rotate
objects.
Rotate Tool
Click to use the Rotate Tool to rotate an object around a rotation origin
(normally centred). See Rotating an object on p. 68.
To select an object:
• Click on the object using one of the tools shown above.
The above example shows an unselected and selected object (showing
Move and Group buttons).
If objects overlap, Alt-click until the desired object is selected.
When selecting a text object with the Pointer Tool:
• Clicking on a text object (artistic text or text frame) with the Pointer
Tool selects the object and also positions the blinking text selection
cursor within the object's text. In this mode, you can edit the text (see
p. 108).
