Locking Objects
Locking an object allows you to
protect the properties you have
applied to it. The choices in the
Locking submenu allow you to
determine the type of lock to use
on an object.
Select the Lock In Place option
to ensure the object cannot be
altered or moved in any way.
Select Allow Move to let you
move an object, but not resize,
rotate or change any of the
objects properties. You might use
Allow Move if you were creating a Notebook file that would be used to teach ordering, but wanted to ensure
all the objects on the page remain the same size.
Select Allow Move and Rotate to let you move and rotate an object, but not resize it. You might use Allow
Move and Rotate if you created a Notebook file with a puzzle component and you wanted your students to
arrange the puzzle pieces. You can place the puzzle pieces wherever you wish on the Notebook page and
rotate them to make the puzzle more challenging – without worrying that participants might resize the piece.
Unlock an object by doing the following:
1 Select the locked object. The Lock icon will appear.
2 Select the Lock icon
3 Select Unlock from the menu
