Moving graphic objects

1) Click the graphic object, if necessary, to show the green resizing

handles.

2) Move the pointer over the graphic object until the pointer

changes shape. On most operating systems, the cursor associated

with moving objects is a four-headed arrow, but it may also be a

hand or some other symbol.

3) Click and drag the graphic object to the desired position.

4) Release the mouse button.

For a more accurate placement of the graphic object, use the Position

and Size dialog box shown in Error: Reference source not found. To

open this dialog box, first select the graphic object by clicking on it;

when the resizing green handles are displayed, either press

select Format > Position and Size from the menu bar.

Figure 91: Fine adjustment of position and size of the

graphic object

Use the

Position

section of the dialog box to specify the X (horizontal)

and Y (vertical) position of the graphic object. The values represent the

distance of the base point (selected on the right hand side of the

dialog box) relative to the top left corner of the slide.
