Hello all - How do I keep text and images (all boxed up in one box) at the bottom of the pages without having to move them everytime I add stuff on the site. Also, how do I lock the images and text that are in a box incase I want to relocate the box? Everytime I move the box around, I have to move the images & text individually.

Thanks

See this thread on vertically expanding pages. In particular, check out Larry's code for footer placement.

For the boxing issue, try making the box, images and text into a permanent group -- the button should be on your bottom toolbar.

Thanks Bruceee.

For the boxing issue, I did locate the "group" button, but it only lets me group is I select all (the whole page). It doesn't give me the option to just select the box.

Thanks

To select the objects you want to make a group of, use you mouse and draw a “rectangle” around them, then use the “group” option.

Thanks Postyr for your response, but I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. I did draw a rectangle around them, but the group icon is still gray, so I can't click on it. When I select all, that's when the group icon is available.

The rectangle postyr is talking about is not an SS rectangle shape, but rather a "lasso". Position your mouse cursor outside the first object you want to group, then click and hold the left mouse button while you drag a border around the items to be grouped (aka: lassoing). When you release the mouse button, the selected objects will be in a temporary group. Then use the "group" button to make it permanent.

You can also Ctrl+Left Click the objects to form a temporary group.

Thanks Larryd. I was able to "lasso." Thanks everyone for helping out.
