Group Objects
Grouping objects in Publisher is useful when you’re installing a collection of objects that you would like to appear alongside each other. Here’s how:
-
Choose all by clicking on each object sequentially while holding down the Shift key. Keeping the Shift key depressed allows you to group the objects together.
-
Click the Group Objects key that will be visible on the foot of selection. You may also separate grouped objects by highlighting the group, then clicking the Ungroup Objects button.
Retaining an Object’s Center
If you wish to retain the center of an object even when you alter the dimensions of that object:
-
Click on the item and press Control key during resizing of your object.
-
Then release the mouse button prior to releasing the Control key.
Nudge Objects
You can use the Nudge command to position a graphic in Microsoft Publisher without resorting to the mouse.
-
Select the object, then click Next, Arrange and then Nudge Objects.
-
Now type in the size and direction in which you wish to shift the image. You may move an image as much as 2 inches, points and picas.
-
It is possible to also move an image incremented by pixels. To do this, Select the object and press the arrow key while depressing the Alt key to shift the item in a specific path one pixel at a time.
