Selecting and working with objects on popovers

You can move, resize, delete, copy, and format objects on popovers.

1.	In Layout mode, double-click the popover button to open the popover.

2.	Select one or more objects on the popover.

 

To select	Do this
An object on the popover	With the arrow pointer, click the object.
Multiple objects on the popover	• Drag the arrow pointer to make a selection box on the popover that includes the objects. The selection box does not have to completely surround the objects. To avoid including partially selected objects, press Ctrl (Windows) or Command (OS X) as you drag. Note  Make sure the arrow pointer is on the popover, and not the layout, when you begin dragging. Otherwise, objects on the layout are selected instead.  • Or, Shift-click each object individually.

3.	Do one or more of the following.

 

To	Do this
Copy (or cut) the object and then paste the object	Choose Edit menu > Copy (or Cut). Click with the arrow pointer where you want the object pasted, then choose Edit menu > Paste. See Copying, duplicating, and deleting objects.
Delete the object	• Choose Edit menu > Clear.  • Or, press Backspace or Delete. See Copying, duplicating, and deleting objects.
Move the object	Drag the object to a new location. See Moving objects on a layout.
Resize or reshape the object	Drag one of the selection handles to change the object’s shape or size. See Resizing and reshaping objects.

Note  In Layout mode, popovers are included in the default tab order. When you press Tab to move to a popover button, press Tab again to open the popover, then continue pressing Tab to advance through the objects on the popover. In Browse mode, popover buttons are not in the tab order by default, but you can add popover buttons to the tab order. See Setting the tab order for data entry.
