    Default Help!

    Hi,
    I need help. In XP&G7, my "Selector" tool has become the "Page Size" tool and I can't select anything. It just changes my page size. What did I do??

    Hi GofD

    Are your objects on a locked layer ? (little red padlock in the page & layer gallery)

    OK try clicking the 3 padlock icon to unlock all layers and objects. Does that help ? (the objects themselves may have become locked)

    GardenofDaisies download the attached .xar file and open it in P&GD7 and see if you can select any of the groups.

    I can. But the Selector tool changes to the Page Size tool as soon as it moves beyond any of the "objects" to the right and to the bottom of the "canvas".

    Please check Options > Mouse > Magnatic snap radii. When they are set very low or very high they can cause some interesting problems.
