Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / May 2008How to move objects in tiny increments
How can i move objects in tiny increments? I choose an object and move it but it jumps in increments that are too large. I also choose an object and move it using the arrow keys but it still moves in increments that are too big. I can't align objects properly because of this problem. In other programs, such as Appleworks, I can move objects in much smaller increments.

Hi, You can accomplish this by holding down the Option key while you press the arrow keys. Sometimes it helps to increase the zoom setting, too. -Jim  SignatureJim Gordon Mac MVP MVPs are not Microsoft Employees MVP info http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ i had already tried the zoom trick but it didn't work but the option key was the magic solution i was looking for! thank you On Feb 24, 12:00 am, Jim Gordon MVP <goldke...@WarmerThanWarmMail.com> wrote: > Quoting from "irchamandy" <irchama...@gmail.com>, in article > f05e4af6-4926-4e26-9aa4-c1b1938c0...@d5g2000hsc.googlegroups.com, on [DATE: [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > MVPs are not Microsoft Employees > MVP infohttp://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ I take it this is PPt 2004? You can also go to the Draw button (Drawing Toolbar) & select Snap> To Grid to turn the grid off altogether.

Is there someway to move an object in small increments in the latest version of powerpoint? In PPt 2008 use the Control key instead of Option.
