= SUMMARY =

In Letter Writer, it is possible to size an object so small that it is very difficult to select. The object may only appear as a small dot on your monitor or on a printed page.

= MORE INFORMATION =

To make objects easier to select, try to keep them large enough that they remain visible. To select an object you previously made too small, follow the steps below.

NOTE: It may be easier to add an object again than to find and select an object.

  If the object is visible as a dot on your monitor, position the mouse I-beam pointer over the dot. If the object isn’t visible, type text into the letter near the object’s previous location. A blank space appears between text blocks to indicate the object’s location.   Center the I-beam pointer or hand-pointer over the dot if it is visible. Otherwise move the cursor slowly across the blank space between the text blocks. When the mouse pointer is centered over the tiny object, the cursor changes into a hand.   While the pointer is in the hand shape, click the mouse button to select the object.
