8. Zoom out so you can see the entire width of the document.

9. With the new fifth object selected, choose Edit>Step and Repeat. Activate the
Preview option in the resulting dialog box, and type 45 in the Count field.
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 result from the Step and Repeat process) are all equally spaced, but not enough to
fill the filmstrip.

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

11. Zoom in to the right end of the black rectangle, and select only the right-
most rounded rectangle.

12. Press Shift, then drag to the right until the center of the object snaps to the
bleed guide.
Because this object ends up entirely outside the page edge, the Smart Guides no longer
appear to mark exact horizontal movement. Pressing Shift while dragging constrains the
movement to 45° angles.

As you drag, the bleed
guide acts as a magnet;
the object’s center point
snaps to that guide.

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

14. 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 13 and 14 show a very easy
way to select most, but not all, of the objects on a page.

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