Group the Link Buttons

We will need to create nine link buttons in total. It is easiest to duplicate the current three buttons if we group them first.

  1. If the three link buttons are not already selected, drag another "window" around the three link buttons.

  2. Click the Draw button at the bottom of the screen.

  3. Click Group from the menu.
Grouping graphic objects together makes them into a single graphic object. This makes the objects easier to work with.

Duplicate the Link Buttons

  1. With the grouped buttons still selected, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + D to duplicate the group.

  2. Drag the duplicated set of buttons below the first set.

  3. Create a third duplicated set of link buttons.

  4. Drag the last set of buttons below the second set.
