Question

[skippi4]

I am brand new to web design and I have Web Designer 6.0. I've looked at video instructions and can not figure this out. I am trying to group a simple rectangle filled with color to some text that will make the rectangle in the background, the text in front, and be one object. It says choose both objects and then group them, but I can choose the rectangle or the text, but not both. I know this is a simple thing to do, but I'm brand new and can't figure it out.

If I read your question correctly, then select one item (say the rectangle) and then press and hold the SHIFT button and click on the text.

But, surely, your question can't be how I read it?!

Also, if you can see both object clearly on the page, then use the Selector tool to marquee select both objects.

Hello Skippi Welcome to talkgraphics Feel free to ask any questions you need, but do keep in mind there are different areas here for web design and basic graphics chat. Your question this time seems fine to ask here in the graphics section but more web design related questions will be better in the Xara Web design area.

Thank you both. Yes, the question was that simple. I am brand new to web design, learning as I go, and have no idea what I'm doing, but having fun doing it. Thanks again. Sorry for the simplicity of the question.

I didn't call your question 'simple'.
Everything is simple when you know how.

I was just concerned that I had maybe misread your question.

Please. Ask as many simple questions as you like.
I used to!
