Moving an Object
After you create an object, you can move it to a different location in the document by dragging it to a new location. Moving objects is a good way to reposition them so that they better enhance the text.
The mouse pointer must be a single, white arrow with a black, four-headed arrow attached to it to move an object.
NOTE: If you cannot move an inserted graphic or clip art object, right-click the object and select the Format Picture command. In the Format Picture dialog box, select the Layout page and select any wrapping style option except the In line with text option.
