Figure 21: Slide master showing five editable areas

Click with the left mouse button on any of these areas to display eight

green squares (handles) around the rectangle. Use these handles to

modify the size and position of the area.

1) To change the position, move the mouse towards one of the

edges, away from the green handles, until the cursor changes

shape

, then click the left mouse button and drag the area to the

desired position.

2) To modify the shape and size of one of the rectangular area, use

one of the 8 green handles. Use the handles in the corners to

modify both the sides of the rectangle simultaneously; the handles

in the middle of the sides modify only one dimension at a time.

The shape of the mouse cursor usually changes when over the

handle, giving a clear visual indication of how it will affect the

shape of the rectangular area.

Tip

To keep the ratio between the sides of the rectangular area

constant, move the mouse to one of the 4 green handles at the

corner of the area and keep the

Shift

key pressed while dragging

the handle with the mouse.

1 The shape of the cursor to move and resize objects is operating system specific,

therefore no image is provided.
