Moving and resizing panel controls You can move, resize, and reshape tab controls and slide controls. To move a panel control and all objects on it: • In Layout mode, drag the tab control or slide control to the new location. See Moving objects on a layout. To resize or reshape a panel control: 1. In Layout mode, select the tab control or slide control. 2. Drag a selection handle to change the size or shape of the tab control or slide control. Note The size or shape of the objects on the tab control or slide control don’t change unless the objects have been selected with the tab control or slide control. See Resizing and reshaping objects. Notes • When you move a tab control or a slide control, all the objects on the panel control move with it. • If you make a tab control or slide control smaller, objects may become hidden from view. Either resize the panel control or change the size of the text on the panels to fit the panel control’s new size. • If an object no longer fits within a resized panel, the object becomes partially or completely hidden. However, it is still a part of the panel. • If a panel control is not wide enough to display all of its panels, the panels will be truncated. • You can’t move, resize, or reshape a locked panel control. See Protecting objects from change.
