When working in MS PowerPoint, are you frequently frustrated when you try to move objects just a wee little bit?<\/font><\/p>\n

I mean, you're only trying to nudge the text box or graphic a small amount, but every time you try to drag and drop it with the mouse, it just goes too far.<\/font><\/p>\n

A solution for that predicament certainly would come in handy, wouldn't it?! <\/font><\/p>\n

Fortunately, I've got one that's easy to use and remember! <\/font><\/p>\n

First, select the object<\/strong> to be moved. (If it's a text box, be sure you have just the text box itself selected and make sure the cursor isn't inside the text box for editing).<\/font><\/p>\n

Ready to move? Good! It goes quick, so pay attention. <\/font><\/p>\n

Simply tap an arrow key<\/strong> to move the selected object just a nudge in any of the four directions.<\/font><\/p>\n

Also, as a bonus, I found that holding down the Ctrl key while using an arrow key<\/strong> makes the nudge even smaller.<\/font><\/p>\n

That's all there is to it! <\/font><\/p>\n

With the object selected, one press of an arrow key moves it just the tiniest amount. Talk about fine tuning!<\/font><\/p>\n

Have a large distance to cover?<\/font><\/p>\n

Don't worry! You can use this tip for that too. <\/font><\/p>\n

Instead of a quick tap, hold down the arrow key<\/strong>. You'll find that your object zips around the slide as though it had on running shoes! <\/font><\/p>\n\n
