    You can also adjust graphic and text objects using the top toolbar. Once a graphic or text is placed, you may click on that object and copy, crop, move, scale, flip and rotate graphics. When you copy an object, it will appear on top of the source object. You will need to click and drag it to the panel you wish to place it on.
