Hello All, I just installed Vista (with PowerPoint 2003 and 2007) and a
strange phenomena occurs as grouped objects, when clicked on 'to select'
(for the first time and after every time they have been moved again) they
jump a little away (a few pixels only but constantly in any presentation or
version of PowerPoint and very annoying...) the only way is to select them
by dragging the mouse around the group to select instead of clicking on the
the group to select.

Is this normal??

...hope not...

thanx
Guurt

Guurt,

I had the same thing happening when I first install PPT on Vista. The
solution, updated my video card driver.

As the latest drivers (20 feb) for the Asus 7300 GT silent (2x) cards of
course are installed, we figured out that when 'Drawing Guides on Screen' is
switched off, it disappears.

But as we use these guides all the time....

What graphics card are you using Austin??

I'm running the ATI x1300 with the latest drivers. This was the forth
driver update ATI made for this card and it looks like they finally got it
right.
