Moving and resizing tab controls

You can move, resize, and reshape tab controls.

To move a tab control and all objects on it:

•	In Layout mode, drag the tab control to the new location.

For more information, see Moving objects on a layout.

To resize or reshape a tab control:

1.	In Layout mode, select the tab control.

2.	Drag a selection handle to change the tab control’s size or shape.

Note  The size or shape of the objects in the tab control don’t change, unless the objects have been selected.

For more information, see Resizing and reshaping objects.

Notes

•	When a tab control is moved, all the objects within the tab control move with it.

•	If you make a tab control smaller, tab panels may become hidden from view. Either resize the tab control or change the size of the text on the tabs to fit the tab control’s new size.

•	If an object no longer fits within a resized tab panel, the object will be partially or completely hidden but it is still a part of the tab panel.

•	If a tab control is not wide enough to display all its tabs, the tabs will be truncated.

•	You can’t move, resize, or reshape a locked tab control. For more information, see Protecting objects from change.
