and drag it to its new position. For a scaled resizing, select one of the
corner handles and keep the Shift key pressed while dragging the
handle to its new position.
For more sophisticated control of the size of the object, select Format
> Object > Position and Size from the menu bar. Use the Position
and Size dialog to set the width and height independently. If the Keep
ratio option is selected, then the two dimensions change so that the
proportion is maintained, allowing for a scaled resizing.
Grouping drawing objects
To group drawing objects:
1) Select one object, then hold down the Shift key and select the
others you want to include in the group. The bounding box
expands to include all the selected objects.
2) With the objects selected, hover the mouse pointer over one of
the objects and choose Format > Group > Group from the menu
bar or right-click and choose Group > Group from the pop-up
menu.
Note
You cannot include an embedded or linked graphic in a group
with drawing objects.
Using Fontwork
With Fontwork you can create graphical text art objects for making
your work more attractive. There are many different settings for text
art objects (line, area, position, size, and more), so you have a large
choice. You will surely find one that fits your document.
Fontwork is available with each component of OOo, but you will notice
small differences in the way that each component displays it.
The Fontwork toolbars
You can use two different toolbars for creating and editing a Fontwork
object.
• Go to View > Toolbars > Fontwork.
