MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / October 2007Item selection issue
Hello everybody, i am using office 2003 on Windows Vista on my new notebook. I have this strange problem that i never had before: when i select a shape or another item in Ppoint, the shape slightly moves. This is a real mess even more when I hold ctrl to select more than one shape... in this case the shapes move and duplicate themselves... I thought this was a problem with my mouse, but changing mouse or using touchpad do not help.. anyone has a suggestion? thanks a lot Hi Encio, This is the answer given by Shawn Toh some time ago to a similar question, see if it helps for you: "Go to My Computer > C: > Program files > Microsoft Office > Office 11. Look for POWERPNT.exe. Right click on POWERPNT.exe and select properties. Select the Compatibility tab. Put a checkmark on "Disable desktop composition". Click Ok. Now, open PowerPoint. You should get a message saying the color scheme has changed to Windows Vista Basic and some visual elements are disabled temporary. Try and see if it works this time round. " Worth a try.
