Ask Amy

Question: I work a lot in PowerPoint. Sometimes I want to move an object just a little. Whether I use the mouse or the arrow keys to move the object, it always goes too far. I can’t get it just right. Help!
Answer: When you use the arrow keys to move an object, it jumps along the grid. If you hold down the CTRL key while using the arrow keys to move the object, it will move smoothly and you can stop it at any point. Give it a try. By the way you can use the arrow keys to move objects in Word as well.
