By the end of this module, learners should be able to:

• Group objects
• Move grouped objects
• Ungroup objects

Grouping and Ungrouping Objects

Publisher allows you to group or combine multiple objects into one object. This can make it a lot easer to work with multiple objects since you can flip, rotate, resize, or change the color of all the objects in a group at the same time - just like a single object.

To Group Objects Together:

• Hold down the shift key and select each of the objects that you would like to group.
• Or, click the select object icon (shaped like an arrow) on the objects toolbar and drag a selection box around the objects you want to group.
• Click the Group Object icon that appears below the objects.

Moving Grouped Objects:

Once objects are in a group, they can be moved just like any other object.

To Ungroup Objects:

• Select a group of objects.
• Click the Ungroup Objects icon that appears below the group.
