Edit Menu - Active Image Tools The Object Context menu appears after clicking the right mouse button over an object, or after selecting an object and then pressing Alt+Enter or the special Context Menu key on the Windows keyboard.
A context menu will contain different choices, based on the current circumstances. Only some of the following menu items will appear at any one time.
Displays a list of image tools that have been applied against the selected object, if any.
Edit Menu - Active Image Tools
Moves the current selection to the system clipboard.

Delete
Splits the current text object into two at the cursor position.

Ctrl+J
Resets the active tools from the special list used for rollover processing back to the standard list. When the page is rendered, no scripting code for rollover processing will be generated.
This option marks the selected object as a place holder so that it can be replaced by different images at a later time.
One application could be to design a layout that uses place holder images temporarily for positioning and sizing. Once the actual imagery is available, it is dropped onto the place holders to take their place. The active tools of the place holder, including scaling and cropping, are applied against the replacement image.
Updating news pages is just as easy. Drop new images onto the place holders and drag replacement text from your word-processor û voila!
When an image is added to a page, a global list of active tools is applied. The global list is copied from the prototype image of the Layout. If a different Layout is assigned to the page or if the settings for the prototype are modified, the changed image processing can be propagated to all images on the pages.
Select this option to disregard future layout changes.
Unselect this option to propagate any future changes from the prototype image of the layout to the current object.
The selected object is dropped from the page layer into the layout layer.
With this option, you can design an entire page and later decide which objects are unique content and which objects should become part of the layout.
Changes the width (in pixels) of the selected text element. This is useful, if multiple text columns have been selected and should be set to the same width.
The width of a text element may also be set by selecting it and then dragging the sizing handles.
Once an element's position has been locked, it cannot be accidentally dragged to a new location. If a locked element is copied to a different page, it will be placed at the same position.
The selected image is moved to the very front or back of the current stack.
The selected image is moved one step in forward or backward direction through the current stack.
This option is only available in layout and layout template mode. The image is moved to one of the three layout stacks.
Stacking Order (User Guide)
In the container, items are lined up in rows until the width of the container has been reached. Choose Line Break to start a new row of items at the current object.
Assigns a label to the selected object. This label may be used as a target in a link, causing the browser to scroll the page directly to the object.
Each page has predefined labels referencing the top and bottom of the page.
If an element has a link to a page in the current site, that page is opened in the Page Editor.
Reloads the graphics file, which originally had been imported into StudioLine. If available, StudioLine will look for the file in its original location. If the file is not found and if only a single image is currently selected, then the user will be offered to browse for the file.
This function can improve image quality whenever a small section of an image was first cropped and subsequently enlarged. The reload function retrieves the original graphics file and stores the cutout area in the highest resolution permitted by the Image Archive Preferences. In case of Kodak Photo CDs, the most suitable resolution will be loaded.
Reloading may also be used to restore a lost image. Images that somehow were lost inside StudioLine would appear in StudioLine with a special icon instead of the actual picture. The reload function offers a way to address this situation.
Allows manual or automatic browsing (slide-show) through currently selected images.
This function allows third-party text and graphics applications to use content maintained by StudioLine.
Arranges the selected images in a gallery for use on a website.
Creates a new message in the default email software configured for your computer (if any). The selected images are enclosed as attachments.
Adds the selected image(s) to the print spooler.
Displays the list of all selected objects, if more than one. The left mouse-button can be used to manipulate the elements of the list.
Click on an item to select that object.
Ctrl + Click to toggle the selected state.
Double-click a text item to open the text editor.
Right-click an item to view the context menu of the currently selected object(s).
The selection list can be useful to pick specific objects out of a stack of layered objects.
Toggles the display of selector bands around selected objects.
Selector bands will reappear, if any object is being selected.
