    Default How do I moving graphic objects within text frames?

    I have noticed that when I place a graphic image or object inside a text frame and then try to move the graphic, I instead grab and move the text frame even if the graphic is selected first. Am I missing a keyboard shortcut when moving objects or is this a fluke within the program? I do notice that after selecting the graphic I can move it using the arrow keys but not the mouse. Any thoughts? I can find nothing in the help section.
    Thank You.

    You need to select the frame content with the direct select tool (the white arrow) rather than the selection tool (the black arrow).

    This creates an in-line graphic, which behaves like a character in the
    text frame.
