Hi,

I am trying to move a text box around to properlly allign with other text boxes.  When I click on the text box to move, all it does is reformats the text box either smaller or larger, but doesn't move the text box.  How do I fix?

I figured it out.  The box to the left of what I was trying to move was too large so when I made it smaller, I could move the text box without it reformatting the text.


Thank you!

Hi @default3xoe1csnax8c:

 

The basic concept is that you use the Selection tool (1st tool in the toolbox) and move an object by dragging from the middle, resize by dragging one of eight sizing handles. Is that what you are doing?

Yes, that's what I am doing - using the first tool in the toolbox and moving from the center of the text box.  When I do that, the box moves but the words don't.  It's the strangest thing that I've never seen before.  It's almost as if the margins are staying the same in the text box because when I move the box, it will shrink or expand the text box.
