Use the mouse to select and group objects

You have created and assembled the parts of a name tag by using the main components of CorelDRAW® 10. Now, it is time to complete the drawing by grouping the parts into a single object. From there, you can print the drawing, import it into another file, or make it part of a larger drawing.

The procedure below will show how to select a group of objects with a mouse.

Marquee select the objects

Before you can group two or more objects into a single object, you must select them.

1. Click the Pick tool.
2. Click a point above one of the corners of the rectangle and hold down the left mouse button.
3. Drag the pointer diagonally through the rectangle to the opposite corner. Click here for a demonstration.

Group the rectangle and text objects

• With both objects selected, click with the right mouse button anywhere in the group, and click Group.

Next, you will learn how to use the online Help when you save your file.
