Moving an object is easy.  Click on the object, select Tools/Modify/Move from the top menu.  You will be asked to specify a reference point.  Click anywhere in the object.  Then just move the cursor to where you want the object and click again.  You will be asked if you want to keep or delete the original.  Choose an option and hit enter and your object will be in it's new location.  Naturally, this is not a very precise way to place an object.  The most accurate method is to specify a absolute location.  If you are not familiar with the X,Y coordinate system let me know and I will explain it to you.
