Please be aware that any adjustments made to the positioning of your graphic object may also affect the objectвЂ™s anchoring. The positioning is entered in the вЂњ XвЂќ and вЂњ YвЂќ coordinates in вЂњinchвЂќ and you can also enter precise settings for the вЂњ WidthвЂќвЂќ and вЂњ Height.вЂќ If you want to change the settings for a graphic object in this dialog, you will first need to activate it by clicking on it This pop-up dialog also allows you to choose whether pictures should always be embedded or always saved as a reference in the future. The first time you import a picture into a document, Papyrus Author will ask whether you would like the picture embedded in the document or if you would like to save it as a reference file. Graphic Import: Embedding Graphics Into a Document More graphic options can be found in the context menu (right-click on an object), for example labeling a picture, exporting a picture, or showing it in the picture catalog. You can hide these lines by choosing вЂњDisplay as Print PreviewвЂќ under the menu вЂњView.вЂќ These lines will still вЂњworkвЂќ in this mode, but you wonвЂ™t be able to see them. To get rid of these lines, simply grab onto the lines with your mouse and pull it outside of the text area. If you donвЂ™t want your object to be pulled toward the line, you can also move it while holding down the key. If you want complete freedom to move your object, hold down the key and move it as you choose. These lines can be moved in 2 mm increments. Vertical lines can be pulled from the vertical ruler or from the small area to the left of your text. Horizontal lines can be pulled out of the ruler below the toolbar with your mouse. Once you come within 3 mm of one of these lines, your object will be automatically pulled toward it. The green magnetic smart guides are there to help you position your object. Green magnetic smart guides can be pulled out of the ruler and the areas to the left of your text If you want to work with the grouped pictures as single elements again, you will first need to ungroup them in the context menu. This can be useful for small graphics, such as small arrows and circles explaining larger elements of the picture. Grouped objects are moved, resized and copied together. Graphic objects can be grouped together (menu вЂњInsertвЂќ в†’ вЂњGraphicsвЂќ or in the context menu ). Graphic objects can also be protected from unwanted changes by clicking on вЂњPositionвЂќ in the context menu (right-click on an object) and choosing вЂњlock.вЂќ A locked object canвЂ™t be moved or resized until you unlock it. You can set the distance for each keystroke under вЂњPreferencesвЂќ in the вЂњKeyboard & MouseвЂќ dialog. Once in graphic mode, you can use the arrow keys / / / to further position the selected graphic object. To adjust the size of your picture you can also use the Picture Size dialog. The Dimensions dialog can be used to precisely size and place your graphic object. If you are working with a line, use the key to ensure the line can only be changed vertically or horizontally. If you want to keep the same width/height ratio as you expand or reduce the object, hold down the button as you move it. You can enlarge or reduce the size of a graphic object by clicking on the resizing handles and pulling in the direction you choose. In Graphic Mode you can only work with the graphics, which prevents you from making unwanted changes to your text. If you find it difficult to work with your graphics while in Text Mode, you can switch to Graphic Mode either by hitting the key or with the icon in the toolbar.
