One more question on Drawing Object styles

users
#1

There is a style for an object with no line and no fill, but that
seems to make everything disappear. I can tell that the object is
still "there" if I work at clicking around the blank screen to select
it, but I am at a loos to understand what a use case is for this
style. Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks,

That is the default style for images and OLE-objects, e.g. Math formula.

Kind regards

Handy for example if you have guide lines for positioning items. You can keep them in the document but invisible after use. Or if you need an invisible filler, eg when spacing items.

Don't forget <tab> will select in turn the various objects, even if you can't see them.

Thank you Mike. I forgot about using Tab to select.

I use this to obscure parts of other objects. It's been extremely useful./Gary
