Chapter 7 Working with Shapes, Graphics, and Other Objects 137

Moving Objects

The way you move an object depends on whether it’s a floating or inline object.

Here are ways to move objects:

m To move a floating object, click the object to select it (the selection handles appear),

and then drag it to a new location.

m To constrain the object’s motion to horizontal, vertical, or a 45 degree angle, start

dragging the object while holding down the Shift key.

m To move the object in small increments, press one of the arrow keys, causing the object

to move a point at a time. To move the object ten points at a time, hold down the Shift

key while pressing an arrow key.

m To show the position of the object when you move it, choose Pages > Preferences, and

then select “Show size and position when moving objects” in the General pane.

m To precisely align objects, you can also use alignment guides. See “Spacing Objects

Evenly on a Page” on page 139 for additional information.

m To move an inline object, click the object to select it, and then drag it until the

insertion point appears where you want the object in the text.

You can also select the object and choose Edit > Cut. Place the insertion point where

you want the object to appear, and then choose Edit > Paste.

Avoid dragging an object by the selection handles because you may inadvertently

resize the object.

Moving an Object Forward or Backward

When floating objects overlap or when text and floating objects overlap, you can

change the order of objects in the stack.

To move a floating object in front or in back of text or another object:

1 Select the object you want to move.

2 To move an object a layer at a time, choose Arrange > Bring Forward or Arrange >

Send Backward.

3 To move an object to the very top or bottom of the stack, choose Arrange > Bring to

Front or Arrange > Send to Back.

If you’re unable to select an object, it may be a background object. For more

information about working with background objects see, “Moving an Object to the

Background” on page 138.

If you frequently layer objects, you can add the Front, Back, Forward, and Backward

buttons to the toolbar to work more efficiently. To learn about customizing the toolbar,

see “The Toolbar” on page 22.
