<< Click to Display Table of Contents >> Changing object properties via the dialog box

The properties of an object include, for example, its size, fill color, borders, etc. These properties can be edited centrally using the dialog box Object properties.

Note: Many object properties can also be conveniently edited directly via the icons of the contextual ribbon tab Object (or Picture, Chart, etc.). Information about these ribbon tabs can be found in the respective section of the corresponding object. However, some other options can only be set via the dialog box.

To change the properties of an object via the dialog box, right-click on the object frame to open the context menu and select the last entry Properties. A corresponding dialog box appears.

Tip: For most types of objects, you can also open this dialog box quickly by double-clicking on the object (or its border).

The dialog box has several tabs that you can switch between by clicking on one of the tabs at the top.

You will find detailed information on each tab and the options it contains on the following pages.
