3. To extend an existing line, repeat Step 2 for each new segment. Each

segment can be of a different type.

4. To end the line, press Esc, double-click, or choose a different tool.

Editing lines

Use the Pointer Tool in conjunction with the Curve context toolbar to adjust

lines once you've drawn them. The techniques are the same whether you're

editing a separate line object or the outline of a closed shape.

See PagePlus help for information on editing lines.

Setting line properties

All lines, including those that enclose shapes, have numerous properties,

including colour, weight (width or thickness), scaling, cap (end), join (corner),

and stroke alignment. You can vary these properties for any freehand, straight,

or curved line, as well as for the outline of a shape. Note that text frames,

pictures, tables, and artistic text objects have line properties, too.

In PagePlus, you can control the position of the stroke (i.e., line width) in

relation to the object's path, i.e. the line that defines the boundary of the object.

To change line properties of a selected object:

• Use the Swatches tab to change the line's colour and/or shade.

Alternatively, use the Colour tab to apply a colour to the selected

object from a colour mixer.

• Use the Line tab, context toolbar (shown when a line is selected), or

Line and Border dialog to change the line's weight (thickness), type, or

other properties. Select a line width, and use the drop-down boxes to

pick the type of line. The context toolbar can also adjust line-end

scaling as a percentage.

On the Line tab, context toolbar, or Line and Border dialog, the styles drop-

down menu provides the following styles: None, Single, Calligraphic, and

several Dashed and Double line styles as illustrated below.
