Individual objects on a page can be grouped together. This means that as soon as one object in the group is selected, all of the objects in the group will become selected. This is useful, for example, if several objects are in a specific relative location to each other and you want to make sure that you cannot move one without moving all of the others.

 

To group several objects together:

1.Select the objects that you want to group, as described above.

2.Select Group from the Home→Editing→Arrange command drop-down list (Figure T1.11).

 

3.Click on a blank area of the layout to unselect all the objects.

4.Click on the border of one of the grouped objects. They should all become selected.

To ungroup grouped objects:

1.Select the group of objects you want to ungroup, as described above.

2.Select Ungroup from the Home→Editing→Arrange command drop-down list.

 

In the next section, we will learn to align objects.
