Deleting Partially

In the block edit mode of Object Layout Editor, you can delete blocks.

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
Blocks deleted on a contents page created with Document Binder can be recreated by updating the page in Document Binder. However, if you move objects to a contents page, 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 deleted, the position and size of annotations inserted into a binder document will not change. You can manually move blocks lengthwise or widthwise. For more information on moving, see the following. Moving Partially You can remove spaces (reduce margins) between blocks. For more information on how to reduce margins, see the following.
