Markers can be moved by clicking and holding on the center point of the marker using the mouse and adjusting the position of the marker.

 

When the marker is selected by clicking on it, three points will appear: a resizing handle at the left- and right-boundaries, and a point in the center for moving the marker (Figure 9.35). Position the mouse cursor over the central point so it turns into a four-headed arrow. While keeping the mouse button pressed, move the marker to a new position. Release the mouse when the marker is in the new position. To cancel moving the marker mid-way through a move, press the Esc key before releasing the mouse button and the marker will return to its original position before a move was attempted.
