5 To change the amount of smoothing, double-click the Smooth tool and set the following options:

Fidelity Controls how far your curves can stray before you have to modify the path. With lower Fidelity values, the

curves will closely match the pointer’s movement, resulting in sharper angles. With higher Fidelity values, the path

will ignore small pointer movements, resulting in smoother curves. The pixel value range is 0.5 to 20 pixels.

Smoothness Controls the amount of smoothing applied when you use the tool. Smoothness can range from 0% to

100%; the higher the value, the smoother the path.

Keep Selected Determines whether to keep the path selected after you smooth it.

Reshape closed paths or objects

1 Using the Direct Selection tool , do one of the following:

• Drag around the anchor points you want to select.

• Hold down Shift as you click the anchor points you want to select.

2 Position the pointer over the anchor point or path segment that you want to act as a focal point (that is, a point that

pulls the selected path segments), and click the anchor point or path segment.

3 Drag the highlighted anchor points to adjust the path. The amount of movement of a given path segment is relative

to its distance from a highlighted point:

• Selected points that act as the focal point move with the selection tool during dragging.

• Selected points that aren’t the focal point move in tandem with the dragged focal point.

• Unselected anchor points are not affected by reshaping.

About the Position tool

The Position tool is not available in InDesign CS5. Instead, you can use the Selection tool to select and manipulate

either the frame or the content within the frame. See Select objects .
