How do I move a text box or a data box one pixel at a time? I need to arrange 26 boxes in a row very precisely, so I need to maneuver at the pixel level. So far, the boxes won't go exactly where I tell them to go. Help? Thanks,
Lara

First off, go into the options and turn off the options that lock it to the grid. Now it will move around freely. Next, you can use the arrow keys to move it around one pixel at a time and be very precise.

You also can set the location by selecting size and position from the format menu item (also available thru right click). You will need to turn off the option to lock it to the grid.

Thanks so much! The key for me was unselecting "snap to grid". I couldn't see that snapping to the grid was happening. Just wasn't clear to me.
Thanks so much! I'll be back for more at the next speed bump!
Thanks,
Lara
