Working with Groups

You can combine several graphic objects into a group so that you can use them like a single object.

You can move, transform, resize, distort, or convert all objects in a group together, and you can enter the group any time to change the individual objects.

You can change the properties (line size, fill color, and more) of all objects in a group together, and you can enter the group and change the individual objects.

Groups can also be nested to form groups within other groups.

To group objects

  1. Select the objects together that you want to group. Hold down Shift while you click the individual objects.

  2. Right-click any of the selected objects to open the context menu. In Calc or Writer, commands are in a submenu Group, while in Impress or Draw, they are at the toplevel of the context menu.

  3. Chọn lệnh Sửa > Cắt.
