Click the left mouse button (or mouse button for the Mac) and hold it down while dragging the cursor down to the lower left corner of the page. All the objects should have handles on them. While the images are selected, use the right mouse button (single mouse button Mac) click on any one of the lines or objects that have been selected to bring up the grouping menu and select group. This will keep all your images and text together when you copy and move them to the print layout pages. Step 4 – Copying pages and moving After you have all the images on the pages grouped, you can then copy them using the Edit - Copy / Paste menu (located in the upper right side of the program window) to move them to the print layout area.
