Briefly |
Drag the edges or corners of an active object to resize
it. |
When you click once on an object, you make it active. It gets a frame.
To move it, drag by the top of the frame (like a window).
To change its size, drag on the edges or corners of the frame.
If you just want to get rid of an object, you may want to hide it or delete it.
Iconifying Objects
If you make an object small enough, it becomes an icon. You can drag an object icon from its middle. iconified objects are a great space-saver.
Expand an iconified object by dragging on a side or corner.
Using the Alt (Windows) or Cmd (Mac) keys to move objects
When you hold down Alt (Windows) or Cmd (Mac), the cursor changes to a move-object cursor (the four-headed arrow), and you can move objects by dragging anywhere on them, i.e., you don't have to select them or drag from their title bars, and they don't pop to the front.
