Help Document

Diagnosis

You want to carry out an operation in which the position or size of a box is changed.
This could be, for example, moving a box or changing the position of itsbottom right-hand corner (which would change its width and height).
Additionally, if a text in a box is lengthened beyond the existing box width, this is treated as an implicit attempt to widen the box itself.

System Response

The system tries to place the box in its new position at its new size, checking whether its edges cut across or overlap with any other screen elements. If they do, the operation will not be carried out.

Procedure

Adjust the position or the size of the box so that it does not overlap with other screen elements.
