Grouping and Ungrouping Floating Objects

You can group floating objects together so that they can be moved, copied, resized,
and oriented as a single object.

You can edit text associated with a shape or text object in a group, but you can’t
modify other attributes of individual objects in the group.

If you can’t select an object or a group of objects, it may be locked; you’ll need to
unlock it. To learn how, see “Locking and Unlocking Floating Objects” on page 164.

To group objects:
Hold down the Command (or Shift) key as you select the objects you want to group,

m

and choose Arrange > Group.

To ungroup objects:
Select the group, and then choose Arrange > Ungroup. If the group is locked, unlock

m

it first.

To select an individual object that’s been grouped with others:
Click the object you want to edit once to select the group, and again to select the

m

individual object.
If clicking once doesn’t select the individual object you want, it may be nested in many
layers of grouping. Click again until the object you want is selected.
