Description
Select Single Fields
To change a field, you need to select it. To select a field, click it or select the field name from the Properties menu list. The names that display in the Properties menu list are actual HTML IDs associated with each element. The Properties pane displays the data for the selected field.
Select Multiple Fields
You can also select multiple fields. You may want to do this to move or align two or more fields at the same time. When you select multiple fields, <Multiple Selections> displays in the Properties pane. To select more than one field, you can:
Click the first field, then hold down CTRL while you click the subsequent field(s).
Lasso the fields. To do this, hold down the left mouse key and drag around the fields.
Click
Select All to select
all the fields.
To resize a field, first select the field. The size of the field displays in pixels in the Properties pane.
Resize using field — If you can resize the field, then Resize squares appear around the border of the selected field: left/right (for width), bottom/top (for height), and corners (for both). Drag a square until the field is the desired height or width.
Resize using Properties — Enter the new size in the Height and Width fields in the Properties pane. If the Height or Width field is not visible, then you cannot change that aspect of the size.
Notes/Tips
You can resize multiple fields at the same time. To do so, select the fields and then enter the appropriate data in the Properties pane. However, if that aspect of one of the fields (for example Width) cannot be changed, PM Compass changes only the fields that it can.
