Options of the contextual ribbon tab "Object"

If you click to select a form object, the contextual ribbon tab Object appears automatically.

However, you can only apply some general options for objects here:

New object: This option allows you to insert a new object into the document and different object types are available.

AutoShape: This option allows you to insert a new AutoShape into the document.

Lines: This option allows you to insert simple lines, curves and also connectors (which you can "dock" to the text frame) into the document.

Bring to front, Send to back: These options allow you to arrange the order of overlapping object frames. For more information, see Changing the order of objects.

Align objects: This option allows you to align or evenly distribute two or more object frames. For more information, see Aligning and distributing objects.

Group: This option allows you to combine several selected objects into one unit, which can then be treated like a single object. For more information, see Grouping objects.

Duplicate: This option creates an immediate copy of the selected object.

Width, Height: These options change the size of the object. For more information, see Changing position and size of objects.
