Object properties, Properties tab

On the Properties tab, you can change the general settings for an object.

Available options:

Name

Presentations automatically assigns a unique name to every object in a document. For example, rectangles are called rectangle1, ...2, ...3, etc. If desired, you can enter another name here.

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

For more information on using names for objects, see Changing the names of objects.

Visible

This option is enabled by default. It causes the object to be displayed on the screen. If you disable this option, the object becomes invisible (even when running the slide show). For more information, see also Hiding objects.

Printable

This option is enabled by default. If you disable this option, the object will not be printed. For more information, see also Hiding objects.

Locked

If you enable this option, the size of the object and its position cannot be changed with the mouse or keyboard. Position and size can then only be changed by entering values in this dialog box (Object properties, Format tab).

In the case of pictures, the file name of the picture is displayed at the bottom of the dialog box, while some information about the picture that was used (resolution, color depth, etc.) is shown in the right half of the dialog box.
