Dragging trail

[jodmcc webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hello,

I know this is probably something very basic, but in previous versions if you were dragging text for precise placement, your text would slowly move as you dragged instead of the text box only. I'm not sure where or what I need to set to accomplish this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John

Either click and hold until you see the four-way arrow, then drag for
preview-drag,

or

Quickly drag most of the distance and then, still holding down the mouse
button, tap the Option key (Mac). This will toggle on the preview.

Thanks Judy,

I thought that was correct, but when I try just dragging after pausing to get the 4-way arrow, I don't get that movement whether in Preview or Keyline mode.

Hi Judy,

Really strange, but right after the last post I went back one more time to Freehand MX and it magically started working as it was supposed to. I don't know... But thanks again for the help.
