Locking Objects to the Page

After you’ve placed graphics exactly where you want them on the page, you can lock

them to that position to prevent them from being moved accidentally as you work.

To lock an object to its position on the page:

Select the object and choose Arrange > Lock.

You cannot modify an object that has been locked to its position on the page. To

unlock an object, choose Arrange > Unlock.
