The Rectangle tool allows you to create Rectangle objects.

Select the rectangle in the Tools palette, which will change the cursor to a "+". Mouse click in the desired location on the active scrapbook page and drag to create a Rectangle object of the desired size. If you hold down the "Shift" key while creating a Rectangle, the newly created object will be restricted to its Natural Proportions (that is, the Rectangle will be a perfect square).

The Make Natural Proportions command, available under the Align sub-menu in the Arrange menu, will turn the Rectangle object into a square.

Use the Inspector Window to change the stroke (border line thickness, color, type, etc.), embed patterns, and embed and modify images.

Refer to Embedding Images and Patterns into Objects for more detail.

To take advantage of the grid capabilities to precisely align objects, here is a summary of grid commands:

• Use the Show/Hide Grid command to show and hide the grid.

• Use the Snap to Grid command to turn on and off the snap to grid feature.

• Use the Align to Grid command to align the object to the grid.

• Use the Grid Settings… command to change the grid spacing and color.
