Formatting an Object

When you insert any item into your publication, that item is inserted as an object, whether it’s a picture, a piece of clip art, an AutoShape, or a text box. Although you can format all these items, the type of formatting you use varies by the type of object, so you’ll need to play around with each type to see all the options.

Format the Object

  1. Click the object to select it.

  2. Use the tools on the Formatting toolbar to adjust the fill color, the line color and style, the arrow style (if appropriate), the shadow style, and/or the 3-D style. Some options aren’t available for every type of object.

  3. To adjust the settings, choose the object that appears at the bottom of the Format menu (Format Text Box, Format Picture, or AutoShape, for example) to display the Format dialog box. (The name of the dialog box changes depending on the type of object chosen.)

  4. On the various tabs, adjust the items you want. Some tabs aren’t available for every object.

  5. Click OK.

  6. Use the Sizing handles to adjust the size and shape of the item, use the Rotation handle to change the orientation, and then drag the item to the location you want.
