Object mode
Object mode provides the simplest way to work with frames, drawings and all
other objects.
Normally, you work with TextMaker in Edit mode. In this mode you can enter,
edit, format, etc. text.
When you switch to Object mode, you can no longer edit text. However, this mode
provides many functions that ease working with objects. Thus, in Object mode,
you can, for example, select any type of object with a simple mouse click.
Important: Once you are in Object mode, you have access solely to functions for
inserting and editing objects. This means you cannot enter text, and a large
number of menu commands are not accessible.
Switching between Edit mode and Object mode
There are several ways to switch between Edit mode and Object mode:
Invoke the View > Object Mode command to enter Object mode. Invoke the
command again to return to Edit mode.
Click on the
icon in the Formatting toolbar to switch to Object mode. Click
on the icon again to return to Edit mode.
You can also click anywhere in the document window with the right mouse
button to open a context menu, from which you can select Object Mode or
Exit Object Mode, depending on the current mode.
The following is the fastest method: Point the mouse at any free position within
the document window and double click with the right mouse button to switch
between Edit and Object mode.
The Object toolbar
When you enable Object mode, the Formatting toolbar is replaced by the Object
toolbar.
