Grouping and Locking Fixed Objects
You can group fixed objects together so that they can be moved, copied, and oriented
as a single object (a group of objects can’t be resized). You can lock fixed objects to
avoid inadvertently moving them as you work. Inline objects cannot be grouped or
locked.
To group objects:
1 Hold down the Command (or Shift) key as you select the objects you want to group
on the page.
2 Choose Arrange > Group. A box with gray selection handles appears around the
objects.
After you group or lock objects, you can’t edit the individual objects in the group until
you ungroup or unlock them.
To ungroup a grouped object:
m Select the object and choose Arrange > Ungroup.
To lock objects:
1 Hold down the Command (or Shift) key as you select the objects you want to lock.
2 Choose Arrange > Lock.
To unlock an object:
m Select the object and choose Arrange > Unlock.
If you frequently group and lock objects on the page, you can add the Group,
Ungroup, Lock, and Unlock buttons to the toolbar. To learn about customizing the
toolbar, see “The Toolbar” on page 22.
