To apply a style, select the object (or objects) and click on the style
from the Styles and Formatting window. If the window is not showing,
press
F11
, or click the Styles and Formatting icon at the left-hand end
of the formatting bar, or select Format > Styles and Formatting
from the menu bar. Press
F11
again when the dialog box is not needed,
to maximize the workspace area.
Formatting lines and shapes
Use the Format menu to modify lines and shapes.
1) Click on the shape or line to select it.
2) Click Format in the menu bar. Some of the options may not be
available (grayed out) because of the type of object selected. For
example, if the object is a simple line, the Area choice will be
unavailable because a line does not have an area to fill.
3) Select one of the formatting options:
•
Line
to set the characteristics of the line, including the border
of an area (see “Formatting lines” on page 134).
•
Area
to format the fill, or interior, of an object. This includes
color, transparency, and pattern (see “Formatting areas“ on
page 138).
•
Position and Size
to move, rotate, and manipulate an object
according to specified measurements (see “Moving, resizing
and rotating a graphic object” on page 130).
•
Text
to format the appearance of the text that can be added to
any shape or line (see “Formatting text“ on page 151).
Most of these commands are also available for selection in the pop-up
menu that appears by right-clicking on the object.
Moving, resizing and rotating a graphic
object
This section describes the mechanisms that are available in Impress to
move, resize and rotate a graphic object. Note that the same
procedures can be applied equally to a picture (see Chapter 4) and to a
graphic (see Chapter 5).
