<< Click to Display Table of Contents >> Changing the names of objects

Every object in a document must have a unique name.

Normally, you do not have to worry about these names as they are automatically assigned by Presentations: If you insert a rectangle into an empty document, it is automatically called "Rectangle1". If you insert a picture, it is called "Picture1", the next picture is called "Picture2", etc.

Tip: The name of the currently selected object is displayed on the left in the status bar.

However, you can change the names of objects at any time. To do so, right-click on the object to access the context menu and select the last entry Properties to open the dialog box. Switch to the Properties tab and change the entry in the Name field.

Remember that names must be unique. If you attempt to assign a name to an object that is already in use for another object, Presentations will reject it and display an error message.
