Hey,
I want to make a textbox as big as the blue lines but when I try to drag and drop it (to increase the size) it's jumping too far. I can't place the textfbox exactly on the blue line.
Screenshot for understanding me better:

Please help, thanks!

Drag-and-drop to position/resize objects is great for getting a general idea of what your document will look like, but isn't very accurate for final placement. Try the Properties Palette (F2
or
Windows --> Properties). The first tab (
X, Y, Z
) will allow you to set the dimensions and position of your object very precisely.
HTH,
Christen

hi steinfaust
drag and drop is ok – but you need guides (an
'snap to guides'
activated…)

once you have activated the guides, try what kind of wonders a shift click can do :-)
- choose the text or image frame tool
- press down the shift button and without releasing that button click on the area you want to fill

Just to make things clear: He wants "snap to margins", but I think that is controlled by the "snap to guides" setting.
