Chapter 11:
Grouping, Moving, Justifying, and Spacing
Objects such as text, single shapes or groups of text and shapes can be moved, aligned and
justified, spaced, and measured. The tools used for these actions are the Group and Ungroup
commands, the Justify and Spacing dialog boxes, and Guidelines.
Grouping and ungrouping
After you create shapes and text, you may want to select, move, or align (justify) them as a
single unit. Use the Group command in the Arrange menu to make some or all of the objects in
the design into a single unit. Two or more objects are required to create a group.
Note: Text and shapes that are scanned in, outlined, distorted, or warped are automatically
grouped.
To group objects
1
Select the objects to group.
2
Click Arrange > Group.
Ungrouping
If you need to make changes to individual objects without affecting other objects in the group
(such as changing alignment or portions of text), use the Ungroup command in the Arrange
menu.
Note: Before you ungroup text, you must select it then click Text > Remove Text Smart Edit.
After ungrouping, you cannot double-click the text to return to the Enter/Edit Text dialog box.
To ungroup objects
1
Select the group.
2
Click Arrange > Ungroup.
Temporary ungrouping
You can temporarily ungroup objects but still maintain the group after performing some action
to one of the objects. For example, you may want to move one of the objects in the group and
then return to the grouping after the move. Selecting the object while holding down the Ctrl key
temporarily removes the selected object from the group while it is selected. When you deselect
the object, all the objects are automatically grouped again.
Note: Temporary ungroup does not work for text.
