Step 7 - Grouping items

Now you have inserted a picture and added text to the border, you will group these two items together. Grouping items makes the items behave like a single item so you can move, edit and resize them as if they were a single item.

To group the picture and text:

  1. With the text still selected, hold down CTRL and click on the picture you inserted. Both items are selected.
  2. Select the Group command from the Draw menu.
  3. The two items are now grouped together and behave like a single item: select the grouped items and move them around the border. Notice how they move together.
  4. Move the items back to their original position.

In step 8, you will draw a shadowed text box.
