Moving Objects

Complete the following steps to move an object.

  1. Click the object with the Positioning tool.
  2. Drag the object to a new location. You can restrict the direction and increments of movement using the following methods:

To cancel a move operation, continue to drag the cursor until it is outside all open windows and the dashed outline disappears. Then release the mouse button. The object remains in its original location. If your screen is cluttered, the menu bar is a convenient and safe place to release the mouse button when you want to cancel a move.

Note  The Positioning tool also resizes objects. To avoid resizing an object, place the Positioning tool in the center of the object to move it. Click the corners of an object to resize it.
