Hi. I have a few objects that are grouped together. If I want to add one to the group, I would think I could drag or cut and paste and object into that group?

Hi Joseph,
You don't necessarily need to right-click to add an item to a group, although that is one way to do it. Instead:
To add an object to a group:
1. Click (regular left-click) the group of 3
2. Hold the shift key down while clicking the 4th object. By holding shift down you're telling the computer you want all objects to be active (or selected).
3. Release the mouse, and on the keyboard press Ctrl+G.
As Phill stated, right-clicking allows you to easily ungroup.
To ungroup:
1. Right-click the group
2. From the shortcut menu, select Group >Ungroup
As I mentioned above, if you've added items to a previous group, the first time you do this you'll be ungrouping Group 2. To ungroup Group 1 you'd need to repeat the process.
