Moving Drawing Objects

Over the course of many ExcelTips you have learned different ways to create objects using the Drawing toolbar. If you later want to change the positioning of these objects, you can do so in this manner:

1. Using the mouse, point to the shape you want to move, and click on it. Excel places small square boxes called handles around the shape. In Word 2002, the square handles were replaced with round handles; either way--square or round--they serve the same function. (Click here to see a related figure.)
2. Using the mouse, point to the object. The mouse pointer should turn into a four-headed arrow.
3. Click and hold down the mouse button. Drag the object to the position desired.
4. Release the mouse button.
