Well, this is odd. I have two halves of an ellipse, which I've matched up to
look like one ellipse. I can't group the two halves with Ctrl-click. If I click on one, I see the little balls, including the yellow ones and the green one. On the other one, it's the same but w/o the yellow balls. BTW, are there names for the little balls? Grippers? Wayne T. Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.015 Deg. W, 39.262 Deg.

It appears this problem had something to do with how the items were ordered.
It's also easy to copy an item and have it place right on top of the copied item. Also, when using transparent figures, it's possible to put some of them under the canvas, it appears. All this makes for an interesting problem. W. Watson wrote: Well, this is odd. I have two halves of an ellipse, which I've matched up to look like one ellipse.

Have you solved the grouping problem? If not, then click the Select Objects
tool on the drawing toolbar, draw a rectangle around the two objects to select both, then right-click on either selected object. Does the Grouping - Group choice appear now? -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. "W. Watson" wrote in message nk.net...

Does the Grouping - Group choice appear now? Yes. When one starts drawing in multilayers with transparencies, it's easy to get into trouble. One of the weirder problems I had was that I was drawing either below (possibly above) the canvas, but couldn't see that until I moved the canvas. Wayne T.

The canvas was an interesting idea, but I never particularly liked it. So, I
turned it off and solved a lot of headaches (Tools - Options - General, remove the check next to "Automatically create drawing canvas when inserting AutoShapes"). -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along.
