Locking Objects

You can lock individual objects in place in order to help preserve the design of your pages through all stages of production. You can change a color or fill applied to a locked object, but not its degree of rotation or its skewing angle. You cannot cut or delete a locked object without unlocking it first, but you can copy a locked object; it will be pasted as an unlocked object. The Apply button in the Control Palette appears gray when the selected object is locked. The cursor changes to a lock icon when you try to move a locked item.
