Thinking about all the many features people have requested here...

For me, there is one that stands out head and shoulders above all the others. I'd even place it ahead of any bug fix. Or forms So it's seriously important.

The single feature in my most-wanted list is the ability to easily move things up or down the workpage page -- close or open up a gap. Earlier discussion.

As suggested, zooming out helps, but some of my pages are big, and I make a lot of minor changes. So I also zoom out a lot. I just counted -- 13 mouse clicks to zoom out far enough to make my selection on a page 7000 pixels high. Plus a bit of scrolling and guess-work as to where the beginning of the selection should be. Plus a select operation. Guess-work because I am zoomed out so far -- no, not spaced out

Can I suggest a variation on my original request which I hope would be easy to implement?

That would be a menu, toolbar or hot-key item: "Select everything below and including the currently selected object" This would allow an accurate king-sized selection in one go.

Currently the selection is the hard part. With the selection made, it becomes very easy to shift everything (the whole selection) up or down the required amount.

Ok, I will pass that on, Bruceee. It doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to do, to me.

I would find this helpful also, but in the meantime, thanks Bruceee for giving me a workaround (zoom) for grouping objects out of view on the page!
