Adobe InDesign CS4

Sometimes, you may have an object placed exactly where you want it and you will want
to avoid moving it by accident. (For example, if you have a large image or graphic as a
background for the page, you may select it and move it accidentally if you are not
careful.) Therefore, InDesign has a function called
Locking
to help you avoid such
accidents. When an object is
Locked
, it cannot be moved, adjusted, or altered in any
way.
To Lock objects, select them using the
Pointer Tool
and click
Object > Lock Position
(
Fig. 24
). Notice now that InDesign restricts the object from being altered in any way. To
unlock the object(s), click
Object > Unlock Position
(
Fig. 25
).
NOTE
:
As with Grouping, you can hold down the
Shift
key to select multiple objects.
