You have the ability to manually move chart elements in any horizontal or vertical direction on your timeline. While Text boxes and pictures can be positioned anywhere on your visual, remember that Fact boxes are connected to a corresponding date on the time scale.

On the Format menu, click Alignment or Position for menu options that help you adjust alignment and visibility for selected elements. See the Position timeline elements topic. The Format menu also contains automated options for arrangement and stacking of timeline elements. See the Comparing Auto-Arrange vs. Auto-Stack topic to identify which feature you want to use.

To learn about anchoring text boxes or managing overlapping fact boxes, see these topics.
