Grouping How do you do that

There are times when you have made an illustration for example or collected different fonts in one word and you have arranged them in the order ( Shape ) which you desire.

Now there arises the problem of moving them on the page to exactly the position amongst the text you want, or you wish to resize the whole.

Groan !!!

Do not there is an easy way to collect them all and make them into one unit, and it is called Grouping.

This is how:-

Click each of the items whilst holding down Ctrl.

You will note that they all then display the moving handles etc.

When all are showing their controls right-click and an option menu will appear which amongst other options there is one which says “ group “

Click it

Now all the items are one item and can be moved, re-sized etc. as one.

You can group them another way by selecting the small arrow at the bottom left-hand of the screen next to “ Draw “

This then allows you to draw a rectangle around the items which then couples them together allowing you to move them as one

Note. If you then release them they become individuals again, which means you have to draw a rectangle around them again to relocate them.

Caution. Do not forget to click the arrow next to the “ Draw “ again to disable that facility.
