I created a Master using the "Student / Home Office" edition of Office 2007.
In it a created placeholders for graphics and text in an arrangement of 8
graphics fields and 8 text files on a slide and everything was working great.

My problems started when I upgraded to the "Enterprise" edition of Office
2007:

I discovered that the original picture place holders were no longer included
the 'insert a picture from file" option. So I changed the placeholder to the
picture specific insert.

And now I am experiencing some strange problems: First, if I "reset" the
slide to conform to the template, the picture fields scramble into new
positions on the slide. It however, does not scramble to text fields.

Second, if I want to insert a graphic into the placeholder, the image is
scaled to fit its smallest dimension into the placeholder and crops the
largest dimension. to the placeholder's boundaries. It will also "reset" to
this arrangement.

How can I prevent the "reset" from scrambling the picture locations?
And
Is there a setting to ensure the picture insert to fit the entire image into
the placeholder without cropping?

I don't quite understand what you mean here.

Picture placeholders and content placeholders do work differently. If the
type of placeholder you originally used is no longer available on the Insert
Placeholder dropdown, then I'd run Diagnostics. It's in Office Button | PPT
Options | Resources.

Okay, I'm no longer seeing this problem. And I have changed the
placeholders back to content holders and so far they are not cropping
anything. However, if I "reset" they still scramble the image and text field
locations.

Well, what does the slide layout you used look like? Reset reapplies that
layout. Click the Layout button to see which one you have selected. If you
then go to View | Slide Master, you'll see the slide master (big thumbnail
at the top of the list) and the individual layouts. Find the layout you used
and adjust it accordingly.
