Move and Change Template Size Graphically

To move a template, simply click on it, and its four corner edit squares will become active. If you want to move the template, click, hold the mouse down, and drag the template to the new position. You can tell that you are moving and not resizing the template because the cursor icon turns into a little moving hand.

If you want to resize the template, drag the bottom right edit square (see FIGURE 2.25) to be smaller or larger. You can tell that you are resizing and not moving because the cursor turns into a diagonal line with arrow heads.

Practice resizing by making the protoCheckbox wider (see FIGURE 2.25).
