This is related to your question, although not the problem you appear to have had. For anyone else who discovers they cannot use the nudge arrow keys (with or without Ctrl, Alt or Shift) do check that your text wrapping is not still 'In Line with Text'!

text in the manual
Any suggestions or directions would be greatly appreciated. >

Have you tried using no key at all?
Have you tried using no key at all? I find that to provide infinit
adjustment whereas the Alt key imposes incremental adjustment. This seems t
be the case for both sizing as well as for positioning
For positioning only, the Arrow keys are even more precise than dragging

It seems as if what used to be completely standard - incremental adjustment
by default and infinite adjustment with the Alt key pressed - is no longer
so. I have found that some objects have small incremental adjustments by
default and big ones when Alt is pressed
You can change the grid settings and you can make any adjustment you like
through the dialogs but I don't think you are missing anything and I am
inclined to agree it is, to put it politely, a flaw
