When i move an object it moves about a inch across the page. Is there any way two change the settings so it moves just a point each time you tap the arrow key>
 
Edit>Preferences>General>Keyboard Increment (this may vary, I have CS2) then change to desired size.

Keep in mind, that you can set it really small for precision nudges, and increase the distance tenfold by doing Click-Arrow.

FYI if you are working in inches, but want to enter a value in points, you just enter "2112 pt" and Illustrator will convert it to inches... or px, mm, you name it.
