   them together.

   2. To wrap Paragraph Text around an object, click the object with the Pick tool. Hold the
   CONTROL key, click the object, and select Properties, General.  Enable the Wrap Paragraph
   Text check box.

   the working page.

   6. To resize an object horizontally, press COMMAND and drag the side handle of the object to
   increase its horizontal dimensions in 100% increments.  To resize the object vertically,
   COMMAND and drag its top or bottom handle to resize it in 100% increments.  To resize the

   shadows with the Interactive Drop Shadow tool or create unique fountain fills to a selected
   object with the Interactive Fountain Fill tool.
