The general page contains edit controls for most object properties.
| • | Height - Specifies the vertical size of an object in flow chart coordinates. |
| • | Width - Specifies the horizontal size of an object in flow chart coordinates. |
| • | Text - Determines object text. Use the Generate/but_chart_obj_TxFont.gif button to the right of the text edit box in order to change text font. |

Image Page
This page provides image selection for an object. Simply select an image from the window.
| • | Image Layout - Specifies image position within a flow chart object. |
| • | Clear Image - Use the Clear Image button to remove a link between an image and object. After clicking the Clear Image button, an object has no associated image. |
