 Use any of the margin elements (left, top, right, or bottom) and apply a //positive// margin to //push// the object in the desired direction. Typically, a portion of the object outside of the container boundary will not be visible. Whether the object is text, an image, a folder, or a window, that result may be acceptable. Use any of the margin elements (left, top, right, or bottom) and apply a //positive// margin to //push// the object in the desired direction.
