# Using the Object Tools

A number of predefined graphic tools are available in Paint. The cursor looks the same for all graphic types. When you move the cursor onto an image, it appears as a small green cross with crosshairs that extend the width and height of the canvas. The crosshairs help align objects on the image.

Each tool has its own icon in the Object Tools window.

To select an object tool:

1. Scroll through the Object Tools window.

   Click the Object Tools window and drag left or right. Use the left mouse button to scroll slowly, the middle button to scroll faster, and the right button to scroll the fastest.

2. Click the object tool icon you want to use.

   The selected object tool is highlighted by a blue outline.

   NoteOnly one object tool can be active at a time.
