Shifting form elements

You can shift all or selected elements on a form. It is easier to see elements shift
when the grid is displayed.

To shift form elements, hold down the <Ctrl> key and use the arrow keys to shift
the elements up, down, left, or right. You can also use the direction keys (without
the <Ctrl> key) on the numeric keypad if <Num Lock> is engaged.

Only selected elements shift.

CREATING FORM GROUPS

You can group form elements together for editing. A group is two or more ele-
ments. Once a group is defined, you can edit it as if it were a single form element.

If you want to undo a group command, operations are undone one element at a
time. For example, if you delete a form group and then select Toolbar>Undo, the
elements in the group display again, one at a time.

Defining form groups

To define a form group:

1. Select the Select tool in the Toolbox.

2. Move the screen pointer to the elements to be grouped.

3. Click and drag the dotted line that displays until it encloses all of the ele-

ments you want in the group.

Boxes appear around or inside each element in the group. Grouped text
appears in square brackets.

4. Release the mouse button.

You can now move, copy or delete the group as if it were a single element.

Excluding elements from a form group

To exclude all occurrences of an element or any one element from a form group,
<Shift>-click on the element after grouping. To include the element again, <Shift>-
click on the element again.
