Suddenly, I am unable to move objects in InDesign. I looked at other help forums and saw I need to delete my preferences but can't seem to find them using control+alt+ shift, as indicated. Anyone know how I can fix this problem?

Thank you - it was happening on all documents. I ended up having to restart before InDesign noticed the Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Now it is working.
