I'm hoping these images help illustrate the issue. [EDIT - the images posted in the order opposite of what i wanted, so start at the bottom, then "read" them going up.] So yes, I am using the move tool to move the text frame. As you may be able to see from the images below. I move the frame but the text remains in the same spot, until I move the frame too far and the text "disappears". Now, if I continue to move the frame down, the text will eventually reappear (first image), but well below where I need it to be.
As for where I'm clicking (in response to R-C-R), I'm just clicking inside the frame, then moving it. Clicking the handles would simply resize the frame, right? Which isn't what I want at all.
