Visio 2013 - Can't Move swimlane diagram down on page
I can't move the swimlane down the page. (See graphic showing swimlane extending over top of page)
When I select all, and press my down arrow, the entire page and diagram moves. I just want the diagram to move down a little bit. (See actual attached visio diagram.) I went to the protection button (in developer tab) and NOTHING was selected! What the heck do I do now?
I tried copying the swimlane diagram and then pasting it onto a new blank visio file. SAME RESULT! I get white space at the bottom of the page and the actual diagram spilling over the top of the page.
ALSO, I want to reduce the amount of blue space in my heading area and I can't grab the upper center handle to change the size of that area. (see graphic) My four-arrowed pointer does NOT change into a two-arrowed pointer.

Hi Visio Guy:
1. Everything is unchecked in developer shape design protection.
2. No leading carriage return.
3. Auto page size off is off.
I also Uploaded the troublesome file in my original posting

Hmm. I can move your swimlane around just fine when I grab the heading shape. Even works on my touch screen!
Haven't figured out why the spacing above the "Heading" text seems so big though...

I can't believe it was the friggin scroll lock key!!!
I must spent a half hour looking through the shape sheet!!!

Some things to check:
1. Is the heading locked in position? Go to Developer > Shape Design > Protection and look for checked X position and Y position.
2. Your heading looks like it might have a leading carriage return that is making it tall. Double-click and see if you can delete characters in front of the "H"
3. Turn page auto-size off or on and see what happens. Design > Page Setup > Auto Size. Some times you can toggle this on and off and get the page size to "recalculate".
