If you double click on it, you can edit the object from the object properties window that will open.

In the Show project properties window you can also find buttons in a row at the bottom. They will let you delete an object, copy it, insert it, move it to the front and move it to the back.

The button makes your picture on the screen bigger when you click on it. The button makes the picture smaller.

The button undoes (deletes) the last thing you did. The button undoes (deletes) all the things you've done to your project. The button tells the computer not to delete any of the things you've done to your project-it's like saving your project.

When you click on the button, it means that you can pick different objects in your project with your mouse. If you want to pick a lot of objects, hold down Control and click on them with your mouse. Then you can move those objects, delete them, copy them, or paste them somewhere else. If you only pick one object, you can move it to the front or to the back and you can pull up the menu that tells you all the object's properties-for example, the color of the lines, the thickness of the lines, and so on.

You can find all of these things to do in the pop up menu or by using the buttons on the Object lists menu.

The button lets you draw curves. It's a little bit complicated to use. After you click on the button, click on your project in a couple of places. A red dot will appear on your line. When you drag that dot around, you can change the curve of your line. When you're done drawing your line, click in a blank part of your window so that you won't be creating more dots for your line to connect to. If you don't like part of the line you made, you can press Delete to get rid of it.

If you want to put it back the way it was, click on Vertical Split in the Window menu.
