These are all objects

Many operations in Designer Pro apply equally to a single object or a collection or group
of objects. "Object" can refer both to one object and to several objects.

In postscript terminology, a shape is a closed path. Designer Pro sometimes uses
"shape" as shorthand for "line or shape".

Attributes

The various characteristics that describe the look of objects on the page, such as color,
line width, fill style etc are all called ATTRIBUTES of the object.

The Attributes of objects can be copied and pasted between different objects using the
Paste Attributes (on page 107) menu command. See Current Attributes (on page 105) for
more information.
Bars

There are three types of bars: the MAIN TOOLBAR, the INFOBAR, and then various other
button bars which are sometimes just referred to as control bars, e.g. the GALLERY button
bar.
