Hey folks,
Newbie here. I am a professional photographer turned graphic designer. I'm encountering an issue with Illustrator CS2 on my PC. I'm trying to move an object ( a word in this instance ) a few pixels over. Now I'm fairly certain I should be able to do this, and have done it in previous ver. of Illst.
However, regardless of how I try and move the object, with the mouse or with arrows, it jumps about 10 pixels - without my holding the Shift key. Ver aggrivating. I've looked for some kind of "Snap To" or "Auto Align" option, but have had no joy.
Am I missing something?
I would love to fix this thing.

Many thansk,
RicharD

PS: trashed my Prefs. still no joy. :(

The Secret is...

in Illustrator if you select anything and hit return a dialogue will pop up and ask you how much you want to move it. You can type in any measurement and it will move that far. Hope this helps.
