number. You can assign names to objects, layers and pages (except
Publication pages); assigned names will appear in the layout list.
Adding, deleting, and moving pages and layers
To change a documents layout, you can add, delete, and move pages
and layers. You can do this in the Document Layout palette or use
commands in the Layout menu. In addition, you can arrange, copy,
and delete objects in the Document Layout palette.
To add pages
In the Document Layout palette, click the New Page button. Canvas
adds a page, sheet, slide, or frame to the end of the document. In the
list, the items name is the next number in sequence.
You can also add pages by choosing Add Page (Sheet/Slide/Frame)
in the palettes menu. A dialog box lets you change the page name.
To add multiple pages
Commands in the Layout menu let you insert multiple pages into a
document.
1
Choose Insert in the Layout > Pages (Sheets/Slides/Frames)
submenu.
2
A dialog box appears. Enter the number of pages you want to
add, choose a location to insert the new pages, and then click OK.
To add layers
In the Document Layout palette, select a page or layer and click the
Add Layer button. Canvas adds a new layer to the current page.
You can also add layers by choosing Add Layer in the palettes
menu. A dialog box lets you change the layers name and select other
options (see Page and layer options on page 12.137).
Arranging items
To move pages, layers, or objects, you can drag them in the layout
list. If you drag to a collapsed part of the list, the list expands.
Canvas does not rename layers if you change their order or move
them to other pages in the list. If you change the order of pages, Can-
vas will rename them, unless you have given them unique names.
Tip
You can merge layers, which
moves objects from a source
to a destination layer and
deletes the source layer. Click
the source layer to select it in
the layout list. Shift-click the
destination layer. Choose
Merge Layers in the palettes
menu.
