Slightly move shapes

Hello everybody,

 

is it possible to slightly move shapes in order to perfectly align them? I have a text box and I want to align it to a shape but it looks like it's impossible.. Smiley Frustrated

You can also type the X position, Y position, width and height  in manually for an object in the General section of the formatting area.

Cursor keys move objects on the canvas by small amounts, you can also CTRL + Click to select multiple objects on the canvas and then use the Format tab on the Ribbon and select Align for various options (top, left, right etc.)

You can also type the X position, Y position, width and height  in manually for an object in the General section of the formatting area.

 ive found using the y and x position the easiest way to do this. specially if you dont have a sensitive mouse
