How to Group and Ungroup Text and Graphics in QuarkXPress

Grouping items, such as a graphic and an article in a newsletter, allows you to reposition the entire piece in one step without displacing its components. These instructions are for QuarkXpress 3.3 and 4.0 for Macintosh; those for Windows may vary slightly.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• QuarkXPress (Mac)
• QuarkXPress (Windows)

1. Select the text and graphics you want to group by holding down the Shift key and single-clicking (left-click for Windows) on each object (text, graphics, lines, and so on).
2. Go to the Item menu and select Group.
3. Position the grouped objects on the page.

Tips & Warnings

• You can leave these items grouped or select Ungroup in the Item menu. (You must select the grouped objects before you can ungroup them.)
