Change the Nudge Amount????
Hi everybody----I KNOW it there's an answer to this one, someone here will be
able to help me....this discussion group is the BEST!!! I am used to Publisher where I can Nudge an object in teensy little increments. In Word I'm trying to move a rectangle about 1/50th of an inch....the arrows take it up or down too far....is there any way to tell Word I just want to move it a LITTLE TINY bit????? I've looked all through Tools-Options and can't find a control for this little guy. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!! |

I believe the "nudge amounts" are controlled by the Grid dialog which is
found on the Drawing Toolbar options menu.

Or by pixels, so that when your Zoom is bigger, your nudge is smaller?

You can always move in small increments by pressing and holding the Ctrl key
while pressing an arrow key. As Dean says, the Nudge commands use the spacing specified for the grid. You can change the horizontal and vertical spacing of the grid via Drawing toolbar Draw Grid (in case of Word 2007: Page Layout tab Arrange group click the arrow below Align and select Grid Settings). In order for the Nudge commands and the arrow keys to use the spacing settings, you must also turn on €śSnap objects to grid€ť in the Drawing Grid dialog box. -- Regards Lene Fredborg - Microsoft MVP (Word) DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "DeanH" wrote: I believe the "nudge amounts" are controlled by the Grid dialog which is found on the Drawing Toolbar options menu.

THANK YOU ALL who answered so very quickly and accurately!!!! I tried the
Control/Arrow and it worked like a charm---then I went into the Drawing tool and found that I can actually change it there to tell the arrow to do what I want!!! I'm used to Publisher where I use Alt instead of Ctrl....didn't even think to try that! LOL!! THANKS again!!! It's wonderful how everybody helps everybody else here---I ALWAYS find an answer here.........the answer may be that something can't be done....but I ALWAYS get answers!! ))))))))) "Lene Fredborg" wrote: You can always move in small increments by pressing and holding the Ctrl key while pressing an arrow key.

Alt does override the grid in Word when you're dragging shapes.
