Hello. Does anyone know how to increase the (pixel) sensitivity for drawing
objects in PowerPoint 2007?

I already realize that Visio might be a better product for flow charting,
but I'm thinking I might also get by with PowerPoint. It just strikes me as
a bit ridiculous that I am unable to draw a circle and (reasonably) center
some text in that circle. Instead, my text box moves in big jumps; how can
this be made more sensitive?

Many thanks!
 
YES! Thank you! I knew I must have had my vocabulary off in my web
searches. In addition to finding the "Snap to Grids" setting, I've found
where the grid sensitivity can be adjusted. For any others with a similar
issue, here's at least one way to change the setting in PPT 2007 (and for any
Microsofters--THANK YOU for making Office 2007 several orders of magnitude
less user friendly for power users; my time has never been very valuable
anyway):

-Zoom out of your presentation sufficiently so that you can click outside a
slide
-Right-click outside the slide and choose "Grid and Gridlines..."
-Adjust "Snap to Grid", grid spacing sensitivity, and other options
