If you create a box(or other shape) to be placed into a larger container. You can then double click and duplicate as many as you need, the keyword and restrictions will duplicate as well. Now that you have the template you can put a picture or word on each box (say different farm animals) group the pic with the box it sits on. If you would like to hide the box under the pic (so you just see the animal) you should make it transparent before you group it. So say you want to make 20 animals go in a barn, you only have to set the restrictions once, not 20 times and you can use the same template for other subjects or lessons just by ungrouping and switching the pictures :) . *Remember, you can rearange the images, but you must single click then grab the directional arrows(freely move) at the top of that image.
See my example, I will leave some boxes colored and some will be transparent. Let me know if you have any questions. +wave+
