Freeway Reference: Working with Items

Deleting an item

To delete an item, select it and press either the Backspace or Delete key, or choose Delete from the Edit menu.

Deleting the content of a box

You can delete the content of a box and leave the box itself on your page. If it contains graphic or plug-in content, select the box and

choose Delete Content from the Edit menu. If it contains text, click inside the box, choose Select All and then Delete from the Edit

menu.

Displaying and hiding box outlines

You can hide or display the non-printing box outlines, which are displayed by default. To hide or display box outlines, choose Outlines

from the View menu.

Resizing items

You can resize an item using the Selection tool by selecting it and then dragging its handles. To specify its size more accurately, use the

Transform dialog, the Inspector palette or keyboard commands.

Note: Freeway Express does not have a Transform dialog.

To resize an item using the Selection tool

1. Select the item to display the selection handles. As you point at an item handle, the pointer changes shape to a tail-less arrow.

2. Drag one of the handles. The corner handles allow you to resize in any direction while the edge handles allow you to resize only

horizontally or vertically.

Hold the Shift key down while resizing a rectangle or oval to constrain its dimensions to a square or circle.

Hold the Shift and Alt keys down while resizing to constrain an item to its previous aspect ratio.

To resize an item using the Inspector palette

1. Select the item.

2. In the Item General panel of the Inspector palette, enter new values in the text fields for width and height,

then press the Return key to accept the changes.

To resize an item using keyboard commands

Hold down the Shift key on the keyboard as you press the arrow keys to

resize the box in 1 pixel increments.

You can change the increment in Preferences, General panel, Arrows

Nudge setting.

To resize an item using the Transform dialog

FW Pro only

1. Select the item and choose Transform… from the Item menu.

2. Enter the new values for the Scale percentages and click OK. This scales the item and its contents.

Note: Freeway Express does not have a Transform dialog.
