<div style="text-align: left;">I use Alt-Arrow frequently to nudge images. But as Shlomo says, you can also use it for text. Just select the text and then nudge it whichever way you want. Some typographic purists (not I) like to hang quotation marks that occur at the beginning of a line out to the left, so that the first letter lines up with those above and below. You can do this by selecting the whole line and using Alt-left arrow to move it. It's one of those things that you can do right at the end of your production process (but for which most of us never seem to have the time).<br><br>Roger<br></div><br>Roger Shuttleworth<br>Technical Documentation<br>AV-BASE Systems Inc.<br>1000 Air Ontario Drive, Suite 200<br>London, Ontario<br>N5V 3S4<br>Tel. 519 691-0919 ext. 330<br><blockquote style="padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px; border-left: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 255); margin-right: 0px;"><hr><b>From:</b> Shlomo Perets [mailto:shlomo2@microtype.com]<br><b>To:</b> Theresa de Valence [mailto:TdeV@bstw.com]<br><b>Cc:</b> framers@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers@lists.frameusers.com]<br><b>Sent:</b> Fri, 11 Mar 2011 02:26:34 -0500<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: Is there a way to move graphic frames & images in micro movements?<br><br>Theresa,<br>

<br>
[Alt]-arrow key to move an object (or kern text) by 1 pt (at 100% zoom)<br>
<br>
[Alt]-arrow key to move an object (or kern text) by 6 pt (at 100% zoom)<br>
<br>
Motion is relative to the zoom level. [Alt]-arrow at 200% will move objects <br>
by 0.5 pt, [Alt]-arrow at 50% will move objects by 2 pts.<br>
<br>
[Alt]-[Home] to reset manual kerning of selected text<br>
