Object Path Does Not Move After You Move the Object (194349)

SYMPTOMS

When you drag an object with an associated travel path to a new location in your e-mail project, the object may appear in its original location when you preview or send the e-mail project.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if you change the position of the object, but you do not change the travel path associated with the object.

When a Travel Effect is associated with an object, both the start and end positions are set for the travel path. When you preview or send the e-mail project, the object starts at the Start position and stops at the End position set for the travel path. When you move the object, the travel path is not changed. When you preview or send the project, the object moves to the Start position and travels to the End position regardless of the object's location in your project.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, move the associated travel path when you move an object. To do this, follow these steps:

In your e-mail project, click the object that has an associated travel path.
In the Options box, click Change Effects And Sounds.
Click Travel Effects, and then click Change Path.
To modify the existing path, move the Start and End positions to the locations you want, and then click OK.

If you want to create a new travel path, click "Start over with a new path" in the Main Options box. Click the type of path you want, or click Draw My Own Path. Follow the instructions on the screen to change the path, and then click OK.
Under Path Options, click the settings you want in the Set Travel Speed, At End Of Path, and When To Travel boxes, and then click OK.
