Ever wondered why you couldn’t drag and drop some objects to the required location on your new layout? It was working in others ok so why not this particular layout?
The Page Margins option under the View menu (available in Layout Mode) stops objects from being dragged outside the printable area.
While this is helpful to stop objects being inadvertently moved outside the printed area it doesn’t distinguish between a layout intended for printing and one designed for user interaction. Layouts intended for user interaction will generally use areas on a layout that are beyond the standard print dimensions. While you can still use the arrow keys to move selected object(s) outside the printable area this is much slower than using drag and drop.
The solution? Pretty simple really, just de-select the Page Margins menu option and drag your objects anywhere you please.
Note: The Page Margins preference is associated with each file so a set of open files can have a variety of Page Margin settings (some showing margins, others not).
Extra Insight - Take particular notice when connecting remotely to client solutions. It can be confusing (and time consuming) if you don’t realise that Page Margins have been selected before starting some layout modifications.
