Objects (e.g., plots, text boxes, statistic tables, and pictures) are items that are placed onto an FCS Express document (called a layout). Objects in FCS Express can be manipulated similarly to objects in Microsoft PowerPoint, which means they can be moved, resized, deleted, grouped, aligned, cut, copied, and duplicated. In order for an object to be manipulated, the object must first be selected. A red border surrounding the object denotes a selected object. An object can also be in edit mode, which is denoted by a green border. Edit mode will be described in detail later.

 

The first section of this tutorial will describe Inserting an Object.
