This section discusses the background, border, and size options available to nearly all objects in a layout. Objects can be text boxes, plots, histograms, statistics, pictures, and more. These features can be customized for individual objects, but the customization process is common to all objects.

 

The options in this section can be set in one of two ways:

 

•Selecting the object and then using the appropriate commands from the Format→Object Options group in the ribbon.

 

•Right-click on the object, choose Format from the pop-up menu, and select the General, Fill, Border, or Size category. With this method, a Preview button is available to view changes before actually applying them, as well as a Restore button to easily restore the object to its previous state. You can also restore any object to its previous state by using the Undo button in the Quick Access Toolbar.
