Selecting objects

Before you can work with an object, you must select it. You can select an individual object, multiple objects or all objects on a page. When you select an object, a selection rectangle surrounds the object.

Selected object

The white circle in the object’s lower-right corner is a resize handle (see Resizing objects).

The gray circle above the object is a rotation handle (see Rotating objects).

The downward arrow in the object’s upper-right corner is a menu arrow. Press the menu arrow to display a menu of commands.

Note 

Pressing an object’s menu arrow gives you access to the same menu as right-clicking the object.
