FAQ
What is the difference between Paragraph Cleanup and Paragraph Rearrangement?
- Paragraph Cleanup is mainly used to remove extra blank paragraphs and optimize paragraph spacing.
- Paragraph Rearrangement is mainly used to readjust paragraph formatting based on document content.
- If content was pasted from a webpage or another source, you can usually try Paragraph Cleanup first and then decide whether Paragraph Rearrangement is still needed.
What is the difference between Hanging Indent Alignment and first-line indent?
- A first-line indent moves the opening line of a paragraph to the right.
- Hanging Indent Alignment usually keeps the opening line to the left while later lines are indented to the right.
- References and numbered explanations are often better suited to a hanging indent.
Why can’t I group multiple objects?
- Make sure that multiple objects are selected.
- Check whether the objects are in a state that supports grouping.
- If grouping is not available yet, adjust the object display mode and try again.
When are Bring Forward and Send Backward more useful?
- When multiple objects overlap, use Bring Forward or Send Backward to adjust the display order.
- If you want an object to appear above text, use In Front of Text.
- If you want an object to work like a background element, use Behind Text or Send to Back.
