Placing Objects / GRAPHICS Menu

To learn about ways you can work with graphic files (such as moving, rotating, and resiz-
ing them), see "Working with Graphic Objects"beginning on page 72.

Clock Objects

Placing a clock object is similar to placing a text object except that the object is not ini-
tially empty—it contains the date and/or time in the format you specify (see "Time &
Date Setup" on page 121).
You cannot edit the content of a clock object—the information is fixed. You can, how-
ever, change a clock object's attributes (font style, font size, fill color, and so forth).

Default Object Attributes

Newly created objects receive their attributes based on what was selected when the object
is created.

• If no other objects are selected, the new object receives the attributes from the last
object created or edited. For example, if you change an oval from blue to green,
deselect all objects (as explained in the next section), then create a new box, the
box receives a green fill color.
• If you want the new object to inherit the attributes of an existing object, select that
object, then create the new one. If you select multiple objects, the new object
inherits the attributes from the object that occupies the top-most layer of the
group.
