You can move a combination of text
boxes (text box: A movable, resizable container for text or graphics. Use text boxes to position several blocks of text on a page or to give text a different orientation from other text in the document.), drawing objects (drawing object: Any graphic you draw or insert, which can be changed and enhanced. Drawing objects include AutoShapes, curves, lines, and WordArt.), and
images
(including clip art)
all at once.
To move a set of objects:
- Select one of the objects to be moved:
- If the object is an image in a text box, click the image, press
HOME to make the border of the text box
visible, and then click it.
- If the object is a drawing object or a text box containing
text, click it.
- Hold down SHIFT, and then click each additional
object.
- Place the pointer over one of the selected objects so that the
pointer becomes a four-headed arrow
, and then drag the objects to their new location.
Alternatively, if you only want to nudge the objects in small increments once
they're selected, press the arrow keys. Note To nudge in even smaller
increments, zoom in on the document by clicking the arrow next to the
Zoom box
on the Formatting
toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, press ALT and then SHIFT+F10.), clicking the
zoom setting you want, and then pressing the arrow keys.
