Manipulating, Arranging, and Changing the Look of Objects
In general, the way you select, arrange, and manipulate objects in Numbers works the
same, whether you’re working with images, shapes, movies, tables, chart elements, or
text boxes. For most objects, you use the same controls to resize and reorient them, as
well as to add shadows, reflections, border styles (stroke), fill color or image, and more.
