Hard to drag text box
- 7 years ago
Yes, ever since they removed the annoying top header to visuals this has gotten more difficult, guess that was good for something. Here is what I do.
1. Make sure nothing is selected
2. Hoever your mouse over the text box until the cursor changes to the cursor icon for text (looks like a capital I)
3. You will notice that gray lines appear around the border of the text box. Move your mouse slowly down within the text box to the bottom gray border until the cursor changes to the pointer icon
4. Click and drag

Another way to easily select visuals (including text boxes) is to Go to View > Selection Pane, then find your visual from the list (usually named Text Box aptly) and you can select it from there. You can also drag it up over other visuals (like Bring to Front in powerpoint)
