Move objects
You can move objects using the mouse or the keyboard. The keys give you fine
positioning, allowing you to move objects in small increments. You can also use the grid
to position objects precisely.
Another option is to position an object using the object’s Top and Left properties in the
Property Panel. For information about using the Property Panel, see page 20-30.
You can also specify an object’s position using the Common tab in the object’s Properties
dialog box. For more information, see page page 21-2.
Once you’ve moved objects into position, you might want to align other objects with
them, or lock them into place. For information about aligning objects, see page 20-52. For
information about locking objects into position, see page 20-57.
To automatically align objects to the grid as you move them
 On the View menu, select Snap On. A check mark appears beside the menu item when
the option is selected.
For information about setting up the grid, see page 19-8.
To move objects by dragging with the mouse
1. Select one or more objects.
2. Place the pointer on an object (not on the edge or on the handles).
3. Drag the objects to the desired position.
If you selected several objects, dragging one of the objects moves all the selected
objects. The objects maintain their position relative to each other.
Select the object. Drag the object to the
desired position.
