116 Object Handling

Auto-fit for individual page objects
Once you have enabled the AUTOMATIC FIT option you can control the behavior of
individual objects on the page. By default everything is marked as AUTOMATIC.

To control the behavior of individual objects just select the item you want to control, un-
check the AUTOMATIC checkbox - which will enable all the lower panel settings. You can
now set the position rules for your selection.
Again click APPLY to effect the change - and now test the result by dragging the right or
lower page edge to see how things move as you adjust the page size. Or alternatively in
the PAGE OPTIONS (on page 41) dialog, select from drop-down list of common page sizes.

The options are...

The TOP, MIDDLE and BOTTOM options for vertical adjustment and the corresponding LEFT,
CENTER and RIGHT, for horizontal adjustments will keep the items the same size (so won't
be stretched, enlarged or shrunk) and at the same position relative to the edge or center
of the page.

So items marked to be TOP, will stay at the same current absolute position to the top
edge. Items marked as LEFT will remain positioned at the left edge of the page.
