Moving around a page to edit

I used a blank flyer template to create a with 30 squares.  Each square has to have it's own image / text.  How can I move around to edit them without using the zoom button(s)?  I wish I could just grab the screen and move around it and have it stay there or have scroll bars.  I can select one of the boxes and add text and images.  But if I want to keep working in that box sometimes it will select it and then it's covered by the edit features.  This is a huge frustration and I have to believe I'm missing something.
