Hi JETLT,
Have you decided to answer my question and clear the air.
My Problem: "Draw a text block in illustrator, type some text, then try moving
the text block with your pointer tool. It will move if you point to the text
baseline or the perimeter of the text block but if you point anywhere inside
the text block, it will not move."
Your Answer: "Go to Edit>Preferences>Type and turn off the Type Object
Selection By Path Only option."
Tested: I tried out on both PC and on Mac, Illustrator CS3.
Result: No it didn't work. By default, this option is not turn on.
Comments: So, I still don't understand how you can overcome the small and
important user friendly problem.
Anyone out there can confirm this, would appreciate. Thanks
