Hi everybody,

When I copy and paste an object on a slide (that is I select, Ctrl-C,
Ctrl-V) the copied object appears always displaced a given amount with
respect to the source. Can I control this displacement. I actually want to
set this displacement to zero.

Thank you,
Adi

Adi,
What version are you using? Have you tried turning off snap to grid?
I've heard about the jumping of pictures with one pixel and such when
clicked on/selected in PPT 2003 under Vista. Maybe this is related, if that
is the case you could try this:
Search for POWERPNT.exe (Program files - Microsoft Office - Office 11).
Right-click POWERPNT.exe choose Properties. On the Compatibility tab - check
Disable desktop composition - OK. Restart PowerPoint.

If you copy and paste with Ctrl C / V on the SAME slide AFAIK there will
always be a fixed displacement. If you are copy pasting from one slide to
another there shouldn't be. Ctrl D will copy/paste in one step BTW.

Can you not just select the two shapes and use the alignment tools?

Hope that helps

John
