Real time visual feedback during move, resize and/or rotate actions in an electronic document

A method for providing dynamic interaction between an object and a table, the method comprising:

• receiving an input associated with moving an object on a page comprising a table;
• determining locations of table cell borders;
• determining a current cursor/touch point position;
• determining if the current cursor/touch point position is in a current cell;
• when the current cursor/touch point position is not in the current cell:
• determining a direction of movement of the object;
• placing an anchor of the object in a next cell in the direction of movement of the object;
• and
• displaying a visualization of the object in the next cell without committing the object to the next cell.

A computing device for providing a visualization indication of an invalid drop location of an object during a move, resize or rotate action, comprising:

• a processing unit;
• and
• a memory including instructions, when executed by the processing unit cause the computing device to:
• receive an input associated with moving, resizing or rotating an object on a page;
• receive an indication to update a location, size or angle of the object and a layout of the page in real time;
• determine if the updated location, size or angle of the object causes the object to be repositioned onto a next page;
• and
• if the updated location, size or angle of the object causes the object to be repositioned onto the next page, display a visualization of the object repositioned on the next page without committing the object to the updated location, size or angle.
