Editing with extreme zoom magnification

[Patrick]

I sometimes zoom to 200-400% while fine tuning placement of shapes or
points of objects on a page. When zoomed in to this level the entire
window is filled with a small portion of a slide.

If I edit an object larger than the area in the window, then PPT moves
the window to the center of the edited object on completion of the
edit. This is very frustrating behavior, I do not want PPT to move
the window at all.

Is there any setting to change this behavior of re-centering the
window on the edited object?

Thanks,
Patrick

PPT 2007, right? It's a bug, it's annoying as hell, and we don't know when
or if it will be fixed. We're all crossing our fingers it's soon, though.

Yep, it is PPT 2007.
Thanks for the answer, I really, really hope Microsoft does produce a
fix, this is a really big annoyance to me. I might even look into
switching to another slideware program if they can't find a way to fix
this one.
