You can change the color and line width of any graphical object you create. As well, you can add emphasis
by using the bold, italic or underline formatting options.

Deleting and Erasing Objects
You can delete or erase annotations in several ways.
• You can only delete a text or geometric object (such as a rectangle, line or ellipse) with the Delete
or Clear Page commands or by pressing the Delete button. You can’t erase these objects with
the pen tray eraser.
• You can configure one of the pen tray buttons to function as a Clear Page button, deleting all
annotations from the page at once.
• You can also delete the last object created or undo the last action performed on the current page
with either the Undo command on the Edit menu or the Undo toolbar button. See Undoing Your
Mistakes on page 24.

Edit menu always shows the most recent command or action affected.
