Moving items
You can move items by entering values in the Origin Across and Origin Down fields in the Modify dialog box (Item menu), by entering values in the X and Y fields in the Measurements palette, and by manually moving items using the Item tool 
. If you hold down the mouse before moving a box or text path, you can see the contents as you move the item. You can also “nudge” items by selecting the Item tool and pressing an arrow key on your keyboard.
Note: The box’s item handles demarcate the bounding box. The best way to view the bounding box clearly is to use the Item tool to select item handles on a Bézier box.
