Adjusting parent borders automatically

To adjust parent borders as you move child objects:

  1. In the Paper Layout view, click the Flex On button in the toolbar.

  2. Click and drag the child object(s) as desired. Tip:   To select multiple objects, click one object, then Shift-click all other objects.   To select all objects, choose Editright arrowSelect All.

  3. To move an object that aligns with another object in the horizontal or vertical direction (for example, a field and its label), hold down the Ctrl key as you drag the first object. To move both objects simultaneously, do not use the Ctrl key.
