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
- Select the objects together that you want to group. Hold down Shift while you click the individual objects.
- Right-click any of the selected objects to open the context menu.
- In Impress or Draw, choose Group. In Calc or Writer, choose Group – Group.
  To select the objects, you can also drag a selection frame around the objects.
For example, you can group all of the objects in a company logo to move and resize the logo as a single object.
After you have grouped objects, selecting any part of the group selects the entire group.
To enter a group
- Right-click any object of the group.
- In Impress or Draw, choose Enter Group. In Calc or Writer, choose Group - Edit Group.
- Now you can select and edit a single object in the group.
You can add or delete objects to and from a group in this mode.
The objects that are not part of the group are shown with dimmed colors.
To exit a group
- Right-click any object of the group.
- In Impress or Draw, choose Exit Group. In Calc or Writer, choose Group - Exit Group.
To exit a group in Draw or Impress, you can also double-click anywhere outside the group.
To ungroup a group
- Right-click any object of the group.
- In Impress or Draw, choose Ungroup. In Calc or Writer, choose Group - Ungroup.
Now you can select and edit all objects as individual objects.
