Applying steps to other objects

You can apply a set of steps from the History palette to any object in the Document window.

To apply History palette steps to a new object:

1	Select the object.
2	Select the relevant step or steps in the History palette, then click Replay.

If you select multiple objects in a document and then apply steps to them from the History palette, the objects are treated as a single selection. You can't select five images, for example, and apply the same size change to each of them all at once.

To apply a series of steps to each object in a set of objects, make sure that the last step in the series selects the next object in the set. For example, here's a procedure for setting the vertical and horizontal spacing of a series of images:

To set the vertical and horizontal spacing of a series of images:

1	Start with a document in which each line consists of a small image (such as a graphical bullet) followed by text. The goal is to set the images off from the text and from the other images above and below them.
2	Select the first image.
3	In the Property inspector, click the Expand button (the arrow in the lower right corner) if necessary to see all of the image properties.
4	Enter numbers in the V Space and H Space text fields to set the image's spacing.
5	Click the Document window's title bar (rather than clicking inside the document window) to bring keyboard focus back to the document window.
6	Press the Left Arrow key to move the insertion point to the left of the image. Then press the Down Arrow key to move the insertion point down one line, leaving it just to the left of the second image in the series. Then press Shift+Right Arrow to select that second image.
	Note: Do not select the image by clicking it, or you won't be able to replay the steps.
7	Select the steps in the History palette corresponding to changing the image's spacing and selecting the next image. Click the Replay button to replay those steps.
	The current image's spacing changes, and the next image is selected.
8	Continue to click Replay until all the images are spaced correctly.
