The instructions below work for text boxes, shapes and WordArt: • Click the border of the WordArt, text box, or shape that you want to move. To move multiple text boxes or shapes, press and hold Ctrl while you click the borders.

• When the cursor changes to the four headed arrow, drag it to the new location. To move in small increments, press and hold Ctrl while pressing an arrow key.

And to move the object horizontally or vertically only, press and hold Shift while you drag it.

Learn more about how you can change the position of your text boxes by following these steps: • Open any slide which has a text box.
