Creating and Editing Properties

Every page and object that you create on a page in your publication has a Properties dialog box. This is used to define:

The dialog is made up of a number of tabs that allow you to set specific properties of the page/object, such as its Border or Transition:

To open a page/object properties dialog box:

  1. To open the Properties dialog box for the page or object you want to add an action to. For pages, double-click the left mouse button on a blank area of the page currently open in the window.

   For objects, double-click the left mouse button on the object you want to add the actions to.

  1. Alternatively, right-click in the page or object to open the right-click menu and select Properties. The Properties dialog box will appear.

  2. Click the tab for the property you wish to set or edit. If the tab you require is not visible, use the scroll arrows image\Tabs_Scroll_Arrows.jpg to the right of the tabs to scroll the tabs left or right as required.

  3. Make your changes to the tab you have selected.

  4. Click on the Apply button to save your changes.

  5. Click on the OK button to close the Properties dialog box.

Note:
Most of the tabs in the Properties dialog are common for every object. However, the Video, Slideshow, Button and Text objects have an extra tab containing specific settings for that object type.
