Deleting Objects


There are several ways to delete objects in InDesign. Most people either have favorites or use a method that's easiest to adopt in their current state (such as using a mouse action to delete a frame when they're using the mouse already to size frames ). Be sure you select an object with the Selection tool. The methods are

  • Use the keyboard shortcuts z +X or Ctrl+X to cut objects; use z +Delete or Backspace to delete (clear) the object. (Cleared objects are not placed into the Mac clipboard and thus cannot be pasted back.)

  • Use the menu commands Edit Cut or Edit Clear.

  • Use the Cut command in the contextual menu you get when Control+clicking or right-clicking an object.

  • Drag the object to the Mac's Trash Can or the Windows Recycle Bin.
