<h1>Manipulate objects on a slide</h1>
|
|
<p>You can resize, move, rotate different objects on a slide manually using the special handles. You can also specify the dimensions and position of some objects exactly using the right sidebar or <b>Advanced Settings</b> window.</p>
|
|
<p><b>Resize objects</b></p>
|
|
<p>To change the <b>autoshape/image/chart/text box</b> size, drag small squares <img alt="Square icon" src="../images/resize_square.png" /> situated on the object edges. To maintain the original proportions of the selected object while resizing, hold down the <b>Shift</b> key and drag one of the corner icons.</p>
|
|
<p><img alt="Maintaining proportions" src="../images/maintain_proportions.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>To specify the precise width and height of a <b>chart</b>, select it on a slide and use the <b>Size</b> section of the right sidebar that will be activated.</p>
|
|
<p>To specify the precise dimensions of an <b>image</b> or <b>autoshape</b>, right-click the necessary object on the slide and select the <b>Image/Shape Advanced Settings</b> option from the menu. Specify necessary values on the <b>Size</b> tab of the <b>Advanced Settings</b> window and press <b>OK</b>.</p>
|
|
<p><b>Reshape autoshapes</b></p>
|
|
<p>When modifying some shapes, for example Figured arrows or Callouts, the yellow diamond-shaped <img alt="Yellow diamond icon" src="../images/yellowdiamond.png" /> icon is also available. It allows to adjust some aspects of the shape, for example, the length of the head of an arrow.</p>
|
|
<p><img alt="Reshaping autoshape" src="../images/reshaping.png" /></p>
|
|
<p><b>Move objects</b></p>
|
|
<p>To alter the <b>autoshape/image/chart/table/text box</b> position, use the <img alt="Arrow" src="../images/arrow.png" /> icon that appears after hovering your mouse cursor over the object. Drag the object to the necessary position without releasing the mouse button.
|
|
To move the object by the one-pixel increments, hold down the <b>Ctrl</b> key and use the keybord arrows.
|
|
To move the object strictly horizontally/vertically and prevent it from moving in a perpendicular direction, hold down the <b>Shift</b> key when dragging.</p>
|
|
<p>To specify the precise position of an <b>image</b>, right-click it on a slide and select the <b>Image Advanced Settings</b> option from the menu. Specify necessary values in the <b>Position</b> section of the <b>Advanced Settings</b> window and press <b>OK</b>.</p>
|
|
<p><b>Rotate objects</b></p>
|
|
<p>To rotate an <b>autoshape/image/text box</b>, hover the mouse cursor over the rotation handle <img alt="Rotation handle" src="../images/greencircle.png" /> and drag it clockwise or counterclockwise. To constrain the rotation angle to 15 degree increments, hold down the <b>Shift</b> key while rotating.</p>
