I recently had the exact same problem. I had an email address that I wanted to show as a bitmap (to prevent spam harvesting), and needed to move some of the letters around, all of which I had on the same layer. Move did not work, so I did some cutting and pasting. The cutting and pasting gave me the granularity I needed.. the move suddently works if you cut and then re-paste in place, but (at least in my case) the cut wasn't perfect, and left some specles behind that were well inside the selected area. Anyway, what Carol suggested is probably the best option; that is: > best to use texttool to make each letter on a separate layer. you > do this by highlighting the background layer and clicking on that > for each new letter. It would *really* be nice if the move tool had more power. If the move tool would move only the objects that are selected, that would be great. It would be ideal if the move tool only moved the whole layer in the absense of a selection.
