I cannot "nudge" using CTRL+arrows
I have Excel 2007, and I have tried selecting objects and then "nudging" them
using CTRL+arrows but this does not work - when I click the arrows excel 2007 selects another object instead. (But I recall using this feature sucessfully in Excel 2003). I have two questions: - Any ideas why the "nudge" is not working? - Is there an alternative way of "nudging" so i can circumvent this problem? (I recall that Excel 2003 may have had arrow buttons that one could click to do the same thing). Cheers |

Have you looked up "nudge" in Excel Help?

I cannot "nudge" using CTRL+arrows
I have looked in Excel help: according to Excel help, holding the CTRL key
down and pressing the arrows should work. See text below from Excel help: "Move a picture, shape, text box, or WordArt ... .... To move in small increments, press and hold CTRL while you press an arrow key. " Unfortunately, this does not work on my computer, and I am not sure why. As a descibe below, when I press the arrow my computer just selects other objects. "Polaris" wrote: Have you looked up "nudge" in Excel Help?
