Working with Objects 7-25
In brief:
You can tell an object is selected when a bounding box, which is a gray
rectangle that encloses the object, appears on the screen. The bounding
box has small squares, called selection markers, at the corners and
midpoints of the sides.
Note: Depending on the resolution of your machine and the features it
contains, the sides of the bounding box may be dim or may not
be visible at all. But the selection markers will always display to
indicate that an object has been selected.
If you select more than one object, the bounding box expands to enclose
all the objects. See Figure 4-3 on page 4-8 for an example that shows a
bounding box.
Hint! The ‘click’ you hear when you touch the screen indicates only
that you have touched the screen with enough force for the
system to recognize the touch. The click does not necessarily
indicate that you have successfully selected an object on the
screen.
Selecting a layered object
When you have multiple layered objects on a label, it can be difficult to
see and select the object of your choice. In some cases, you may be able
to move the objects aside temporarily to find the object you want, but
this alternative is not always practical on a crowded display screen.
To: Do this:
Select an object Touch the object
Select a different object Touch another object. The new object
is selected.
Select multiple objects Touch each object while holding
down the <Shift> key.
Select no objects or
deselect the object
selected
Touch the label background where
there are no objects. All objects will
be deselected.
