10. With the new fifth object selected, choose Edit>Step and Repeat. Activate the
Preview option in the resulting dialog box. Type 45 in the Count field, then press
Tab to initiate the change in the document (behind the dialog box).
The Step and Repeat dialog box makes a defined number of copies, spaced according to
the defined Offset values. By default, these values are set to the last-used movement that
you applied in the layout. As you can see, the 50 copies (the original 5 and the 45 that
will from the Step and Repeat process) are all equally spaced. Depending on the spacing
between the first five objects, they might not extend far enough to fill the filmstrip or Note:
they might extend past the edge of the filmstrip .
For the dialog box
Preview option to work
properly, you have to
move the highlight
away from the field you
changed. Pressing Tab
while the dialog box is
open allows you to see the
results of your changes.

11. Click OK to make the copies, then click away from the resulting shapes to
deselect them.

12. Zoom in to the right end of the black rectangle, and select only the right-
most rounded rectangle.
13. Press Shift, then drag horizontally until the center of the object snaps to the
bleed guide.
Pressing Shift while dragging constrains the movement to 45° angles. As you drag, the
bleed guide acts as a magnet, so the object’s center point snaps to that guide.
Make sure all the rounded rectangles are within the boundaries of the black shape. If any
other shapes are still to the right of the black shape, use the Shift-drag method to move
them horizontally until they are all left of the one aligned to the bleed guide.

14. Zoom out so you can see the entire page width, then choose Edit>Select All.

15. Press Shift and click the black rectangle to deselect only that object.
When you are working with a large number of objects, it is often easier to deselect what
you don’t want than to select the ones you do want. Steps 14 and 15 show a very easy
way to select most, but not all, of the objects on a page.

Shift-clicking a selected object All of the rounded
removes it from the active selection. rectangles are still selected.
