Limited Movements
Do you use a lot of objects in your MS Office Suite files? Maybe you use Clip Art in your Word documents or AutoShapes in your Excel files. Also, if you use PowerPoint, I'm sure you're always working with some type of object.
When you go to relocate an object, are you frequently frustrated by your inability to control the drag movements?
Let's say you wanted to slide an object horizontally and you somehow always seem to move it up or down a bit as you drag it left or right.
Interested in a way to control that drag and drop relocation of your objects?
Yes, me too! I figure it can't hurt to know every trick possible when it comes to our Office files.
The next time you want to move an object either horizontally or vertically (with no accidental wandering in another direction), give the Shift key a try.
Yep, that's right! A simple Shift + drag of the object will move it either horizontally or vertically and that's it. No unintentional "drag drifts" for your objects anymore!
