In some cases you will not want an object to be visible as soon as you display a page. You can therefore set the object to be Initially Hidden. To show the object you can either:

• Set a Show action on a page or another object to display the hidden object.

•  Use the Show after option in the hidden objects General tab to display the object after a specified number of seconds.

To set an object as initially hidden:

1. Click on the object on the page to select it.

2. Click on the Initially Hidden button on the toolbar to hide the button.

3. Alternatively, double-click over the object to open its Properties dialog box.

4. Click on the General tab and tick the Initially Hidden option.
