Review answers
1 . To change the white areas, select the graphics frame with the Selection tool, click
the Fill box in the Tools panel or Swatches panel, and then select a color in the
Swatches panel. To change the gray areas, select the content within the frame by
clicking within the content grabber, and then select the color from the Swatches
panel that you want to use.
2 . Select the object to which you've applied transparency effects, and then drag the
FX icon displayed on the right side of the Effects panel to another object.
3 . The transparency of an object affects the view of objects below (behind) it in the
stacking order. For example, objects below a semitransparent object can be seen
behind it—like objects behind a colored plastic film. An opaque object blocks the
view of the area behind it in the stacking order, regardless of whether the objects
behind it have reduced opacity values, feathering, blending modes, or other effects.
4 . Select the object, and then click the Clear Effects button at the bottom of the Effects
panel.
