Basic question for Powerpoint users

The units come from your choice in the Control Panel "Regional and Language Options" and your choices are "US" and "Metric". "Pixels" is not an option.

You can create your own macro to do what you want (and add a button to your QuickAccess Toolbar for easy access).

Something like this (Select an object, then run macro (or click button)):

Sub Nudge()
   Dim strChoice As String
   Dim strPrompt As String
   Dim strDistance As String
   With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange
        strPrompt = "Object currently at (top, Left): (" & .Left & "," & .Top & ")."
        strChoice = InputBox(strPrompt & " H for Horizontal, V for Vertical")
        If strChoice = "H" Or strChoice = "h" Then
            strDistance = InputBox("Move how many pixels horizontally?")
            .Left = .Left + CInt(strDistance)
        ElseIf strChoice = "V" Or strChoice = "v" Then
            strDistance = InputBox("Move how many pixels vertically?")
            .Top = .Top + CInt(strDistance)
        End If
   End With
End Sub

@Paul : thanks, the makro is really useful!

@Microsoft : Oh dear...
