Moving Partially

In the block edit mode of Object Layout Editor, you can move blocks. Because you can move blocks not only lengthwise but widthwise, you can not only reduce margins but also simply edit layouts.

A block is a group of fine objects (elements such as text and graphics on a document) that are placed close to each other. A block is virtually formed (made into a block) by Object Layout Editor.

Important
If you move objects to a contents page created with Document Binder, objects on that page are deleted when you update the contents in Document Binder.

Note
Even if the layout is changed due to a block being moved, the position and size of annotations inserted into a binder document will not change. You can delete unnecessary blocks. For more information on deleting, see the following. Deleting Partially You can remove spaces (reduce margins) between blocks. For more information on how to reduce margins, see the following.
