You can also click the "Draw" icon on the Drawing toolbar, select "Grid and
Guides", then uncheck the "Snap object to..." option.

ALT while dragging or Ctrl while using arrow-keys. Ctrl+ArrowKey moves the
shape a pixel at a time, so the further in you're zoomed, the finer the degree
of control you have.

Hello,
It sounds that, although this functionality is included in PowerPoint, that
you were not able to find it easily. It would be great to know what steps
you went through to find this capability in PowerPoint so that we can know
where to improve our help content, user interface, etc. so that it will be
easier to discover this capability in some future version of PowerPoint
If you (or anyone else reading this message) have any suggestions on how to
make it easier to locate this functionality, don't forget to send your
feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:
http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp
It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.
IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
