How to select several objects to align left or right edge?

Hi all

It's my first day using indesign so I hope it's a very basic question, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere online yet.

Suppose you have a page full of objects and you want to align only a few of them to the same right or left-edge, without affecting the others.

You select just the ones you want to align by clicking while shift now, correct?

But then a box will appear around each of them, which means you can align them is no longer at the edges of each and the other because (I think) is to see the box as already lined up.

Please let me know if you see what I'm doing wrong and how to do better.

Thank you!

It's not like seeing them lined up, it's just to show you the limits of all selected items. They will line up. Another little trick is (after all are selected with shift) click once on the edge of one, you want that they align. It will get a bolder outline, stay where it is and will become the guide to align the other.

  • Selection of object to align problems

    I'd like to understand how Illustrator decides what is the key object when you use the "align to Key object. For me, it adjudicates an uncanny percentage of time being bad. You would think it would do as well as random, but no.

    I understand that when he chose the bad object to align to, I have to then select the item I want, but sometimes it will be not just to highlight the favorite object. Why? Ideas on how to control the process?

    (Freehand had the good sense to have an easily understandable when sequence centering; it aligned with the object that was greater in the locate line.) Easy.)

    Thank you

    To align a selection of first key object all objects, and then with the black pointer click the key object. This turns on the feature and highlight the selection of the object key with a blue line to indicate it. You don't have to use the menu drop down. If you use the pull-down menu without clicking first with the Selection tool on one Illustrator selected objects align to one of the selected objects located above the battery.

  • How to select other objects of a group?

    I have a group of several objects. If I select an object in the group, I use the method: click = "makeObj (event)" "

    And then the function:

    protected function makeObj(event:MouseEvent):void
           
    {
               
    var targetObj:Object = event.currentTarget;
           
    }

    But how to use all the other objects in the group except clicked (target)?

    Hello

    You can do something like below:

    protected function makeObj(event:MouseEvent):void
    {
    var targetObj:Object = event.currentTarget;

    var excludedObjectCollection:Array;

    }

    for each (var ObjectCollection)

    {

    Here, to write the condition which you can diiferentiate your objects

    If (targetObj.id! = item.id)

    {

    excludedObjectCollection.push (item);

    }

    }

    Thank you

  • How to select an object underneath?

    I had assumed it would be 'shortcut key and press the mouse"or something like that... but it is not.

    It seems that the control key changes the mode of the tool selection, while partially, sometimes allowing the selection under.  But it is terribly inconsistent and means that the selection mode is changed if I select the object you want.  This is how it works?

    dissidently,

    If there are other objects in all directions...

    In this case, you can:

    1) click on the top (s) object with the tool Selection and Ctrl / Cmd + shift to move / them out of the way (using Ctrl/Cmd to repeat the movement);

    2) work freely with the arget object now free;

    (3) repeat 1) everything by adding a - (less) before the travel distance.

    Thus,.

    Is the Panel layers, the better alternative?

    depends on who you hate the least.

    Hello

    This a problem running.

    What happens is that when you select multiple files, you select one of the files and the mouse is moved, even slightly, when you release the mouse button, all the selected files will be copied to the same folder. You must be very careful not to move the mouse when you select files.

  • How to select several images of text block?

    Hello world

    I'm sure it must be something obvious, but I can't get out!

    I'm trying to select multiple blocks of text. I choose a text frame and then 'shift' to select a second frame and his works fine AS LONG AS the blocks of text are not threaded. When text frames are threaded I can't select more than one at a time?

    Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.  HJ

    You can select several images (threaded or pierced) as long as they are on the same page or spread. But ID won't let you select images that are on different pasta spread.

  • Master page align left and right online

    Hi guys,.

    How can I do to have a line that is the same line in the master page where the title aligned to the left and right page number?

    Here is my real sample

    Here's what I want to achieve

    I tried with tabs, but I'm not sure it will work when the number is in double figures. Sorry for the newbie question.

    See you soon,.
    S

    Hello

    Of course, you can use tab. It will work. This solve the alignment of a paragraph left or left justify and use the tab right alignment (use appropriate tab position value) or giving Shift + tab (tab of withdrawal right) before the page number it it line up right.

  • How can I change the formats for left and right pages?

    First timer here in the Apple community so forgive my mistakes.

    Works with Apple Pages 5.6.1 on a MacBook Air, try to format a book for automatic printing. I want to do different for left and right pages headers and footers, and margins so that, for example, the page numbers appear outside of the page rather than all the beings in the lower right.

    Is it possible? I googled around and it seems page was once able to do, but the feature was removed thereafter. I have reviewed in the Document and Format menus and sought help, but no joy so far.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Not possible on Pages 5.6.1 which is absent from the reams of features.

    Use instead the Pages ' 09.
