Sometimes it's easier to move separate objects on a page - a picture and a text caption, for example - when the application views them as one object. This is called grouping. You can easily group and ungroup text and graphics in PageMaker 6.0 and 6.5.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • PageMaker 6.5 (Mac OS)
  • PageMaker 6.5 (Windows)

Step1
Select the text and graphics you want to group by holding down the Shift key and clicking each object (text and graphics).
Step2
Go to the Element menu and select Group.
Step3
Drag the grouped objects where you want them.

Tips & Warnings

  • Grouping works best when you have already positioned the objects where you want them to be in relation to one another.
  • Leave the objects grouped, or select the group and choose Ungroup from the Element menu.
