Rearranging Stacked Objects
When you copy and paste multiple objects onto the same page, they often become stacked on top of one
another. You may want to rearrange these objects to reveal an object hidden within the stack.
To change the position of an object, select the object and then select Bring Forward or Send Backward
from the Draw menu. This moves the selected object one position forward or backward in the stack. To
move an object to the front or rear of the stack, select the Bring to Front and Send to Back commands
on the Draw menu.
Resizing Objects
You can resize any selected object by dragging the resizing handles.
To resize a selected object
1 Select the object you want to resize (see page 21).
2 Move the cursor over any of the eight sizing handles.
The cursor changes to a two-headed arrow.
3 Click and drag to enlarge or shrink the object.
