To unmerge cells in Numbers on Mac, select the merged cell, follow the same Steps 2 and 3 above, and click Unmerge Cells. How to merge cells in Numbers on iPhone or iPad Open Numbers and the spreadsheet where you want to merge the cells and then follow these steps. The select object tool is no longer in excel 2011. It is very tedious so select one object at a time when in the previous version I could just use the select object tools and select them all at once. On my Mac, for example, I press Press Shift-Command-4 and then select the area. The screen shot is now saved in a screen captures folder in my Pictures folder. To do this on Windows 10 I downloaded PicPick (after trying three other tools). I am trying to find the select object cursor tool that allows you to click and drag to select multiple objects. In the previous version (2011) the icon was a white mouse cursor. Same for the Flood Select Tool (make sure you're working with a Pixel layer), but in this case you can either click a colour on canvas and select a tolerance from the context toolbar or simply click and drag over the area you want to change the tolerance. Computers Select a startup disk in OS X. Accessing the boot menu in OS X is a simple key press, though in some cases it requires specific timing in order to work.

Once you've inserted shapes, text boxes, SmartArt graphics, images, or other objects, you can open the Selection Pane to keep track of them all.

The objects are listed in the pane in visual stacking order—top-to-bottom. The most recently inserted object is at the top of the list.

Change the order of the objects

Select an object in your file.
Select the .. Format tab that appears on the right end of the ribbon, and then, in the Arrange group, choose Selection Pane.
Select one or more items in the list. (Use Ctrl+Click to multi-select).
Drag the selection upward or downward, or click the up (Bring Forward) or down (Send Backward) arrow .

Note: For an object that's in a group, you can only reorder it within the group.

Group objects

Select an object in your file.
Select the .. Format tab that appears on the right end of the ribbon, and then, in the Arrange group, choose Selection Pane.
In the pane, use Ctrl+Click to select the items you want to group.
On the .. Format tab at the right end of the ribbon, select Group > Group (or Arrange > Group > Group).

After grouping the objects, you can format them or move or them on the canvas as a single entity. For more information, see Group or ungroup shapes, pictures, or other objects.

You can select multiple objects within a group and the groups within it, but you can't select objects within groups together with objects not in groups.

Hide objects

Hiding an object keeps it in the file, but makes it invisible. This feature should be used with caution, because it can be easy to entirely forget about a hidden object.

Select an object in your file.
Select the .. Format tab that appears on the right end of the ribbon, and then, in the Arrange group, choose Selection Pane.
In the pane, select an item in the list.
On the right side of the item, click the 'open eye' button. . This action hides the object.
To make the object visible again, just click the 'closed eye' button .

To see an object that's under another object, you can hide the object on top temporarily, make the changes you want, and then show the object on top again.

Tips

In Word, inline objects are listed in the Selection Pane, but you can't reorder them, hide them, or multi-select them.
In Word, you can reorder objects above the text among other objects above the text, but you can’t move it behind the text. Similarly, you can reorder objects below the text among other objects below the text, but you can’t move it above the text. To move an object behind the text or above the text, right-click the object on the canvas, choose Send to Back > Send Behind Text, or choose Bring to Front > Bring in Front of Text.
After you select an item in the Selection pane, you can click again to change the name of the item. In PowerPoint for Office 365, this ability comes in handy for using the Morph transition. See Morph tips and tricks for details.
By default, the most recently inserted object is at the top of the list in the Selection pane, and the first object inserted is at the bottom of the list.

Keyboard shortcuts

You can use these keyboard shortcuts in the Selection pane:

To do this	Press
Move the keyboard focus through the major regions until it is in the Selection Pane	F6
Navigate by keyboard through the buttons in the pane and then into the list	Tab
Move the focus among the items in the list	Up arrow, down arrow
Select an item in the list	Enter or spacebar
Edit the name of the item in the list that has focus	F2
Add/remove the item from the selection (that is, multi-select)	Shift+Enter or Shift+spacebar
Toggle the visibility of the selected item	Ctrl+Shift+S
Send the selected items backward	Ctrl+Shift+B
Bring the selected items forward	Ctrl+Shift+F
Collapse all groups	Alt+Shift+1
Expand all groups	Alt+Shift+9

Reading order

In PowerPoint and Excel, the reading order (for screen readers) of content is closely related to the order shown in the Selection pane.

Word When a screen reader reads through a file, the objects are read in the order or their anchors.
Excel When a screen reader reads through a file, the objects are read in the order listed in the Selection Pane.
PowerPoint When a screen reader reads through a file, it reads the objects in the reverse order listed in the Selection pane.

Once you've inserted shapes, text boxes, SmartArt graphics, images, or other objects, you can open the Selection Pane to manage them all.

(This feature is available in newer versions of Office for Mac. It isn't available in Office for Mac 2011.)

Select Tool For Macbook

Select one of the objects you want to manage.
Select the .. Format tab that appears on at the right end of the ribbon when you select the object, and then choose Selection Pane (or Arrange > Selection Pane).
The Selection Pane opens with all your objects listed, and you can do any of the following:
- Drag an item up or down in the list to change the order. In the example below from PowerPoint, moving the curved connector to the top of the list also brought it forward in front of the two oval shapes (and everything else on the slide).
  In the example pictured, the connector is at the bottom of the list, and is behind the two oval shapes.
  After the connector is moved to the top of the list, it appears in front of the two oval shapes.
- Choose to show or hide objects from the Selection Pane. To hide an object, click the eye icon in the Selection Pane indicating that the object is Showing . The icon will change to a simple icon indicating that the object is Hidden from view. To show the object once again, simply click the Hidden icon , and the object will reappear.
  The connector in the example above is hidden, and does not appear on the slide.
- Group or ungroup objects listed in the Selection Pane. If you select multiple objects by using ⌘ + Click, you can then group them or ungroup them by selecting Group Objects on the ribbon in the Format tab.

OS X already offers a means of capturing screenshots with a few keyboard shortcuts, but if you want to do a little more you have to grab a third-party tool. Of the many available, Skitch is our favorite for its many annotation tools and instant-sharing options.

If you're not familiar with screenshots, read our beginner's guide.

How to Take a Screenshot or Picture of What's On Your Computer Screen

There are a couple of reasons you might want to take a screenshot (a.k.a., screen capture or screen …

Skitch

Annotate your screenshots/images.
Draw on your screenshots/images.

Where It Excels

Skitch is pretty great. We take a lot of screenshots at Lifehacker, so a good screen capture tool can be invaluable to us. To others it might be less relevant, but seeing as Skitch is free it's a good app to have around even if you only share what's on your screen from time to time. If you need to show tech support a problem on your screen, or your mother where to look for a certain feature in an app, you can take a quick screenshot with Skitch, annotate if necessary, have it automatically upload that screenshot, and leave you with a URL in your clipboard. It's also really handy for designers, because you can make quick notes on images without actually making any destructive edits to that image. You can also use Skitch to mock up changes to live web sites. There are plenty of great uses for the app, and seeing as it costs you nothing it's worth having around even if it is only a semi-regular convenience.

Where It Falls Short

Skitch initially had issues with a somewhat confusing interface due to the many tools it offered, but recent updates have mostly solved that problem. Sharing tools have improved as well. While we appreciate the changes, some users do not. Reviews on the Mac App Store criticize Skitch for becoming too bloated like it's big brother Evernote. Because Evernote owns Skitch, the it favors the notebook app over everything else. While you can export your creations, Skitch makes it easier to work with the Evernote and that can be a little annoying if you don't want to use them together.

The Competition

Grab, the built-in Mac OS X service that captures screenshots, might be sufficient for most people. If you're looking to pair an upload service to it, you can just add the great and free Cloud App. It can automatically upload your screenshots after you taking them. You won't get to annotate, draw on, or do anything fancy to them, but you it's a quick and easy way to share everything on your screen without any features you (potentially) don't need.

Captur (Free) isn't really a full-fledge screenshot tool but adds some extra functionality to the one built-in to Mac OS X. Instead of relying on keyboard shortcuts, you can use Captur to initiate common screenshot tasks from the menubar.

Snagit ($50) was initially only for Windows, and a Lifehacker reader favorite, but now it is available for Mac. It offers a lot of the same functionality as Skitch, yet it costs $50. Why would you pay $50 when you've got an app that does the same thing for free? I don't know.

LittleSnapper ($40) is a favorite among some, but I've never been able to see how anyone can justify paying $40 for a screenshot tool. To Little Snapper's advantage, it offers a very nice image management tool and integrated web site clipping option. It used to include use of the web app Ember, allowing you to upload anything you snapped or stored in LittleSnapper, but the developers sold Ember to the developers of Cloud App in early 2011. What LittleSnapper offers is, essentially, a pretty good app for organization. Why you'd want to pay $40 to better-organize your screenshots, however, is something I don't entirely understand. (And I say this having used the app for about a month.) Nonetheless, some people do and some people love it. It is a good app, and definitely more attractive. Skitch is just better at the important stuff.
