Grouped graphic objects are dispersed into their individual graphic objects. In doing so, the
common frame disappears and all the components of the combined graphic objects are displayed
separately with their frames.
Macros can also be broken down into their elements with this menu item.
Graphic objects which are connected with one another through animation cannot be
broken down into their elements with this menu item. To separate them, see page D-26,

With Paste the saved objects can be reinserted into the graphic one or more times.
