Positioning picture on slide

C

Carl

Greetings from Downunder
In PPT 2003 when inserting a number of pics into the same slide, each pic
appeared on the slide in a cascade, all selected, each offset from the first
by 3 m.m. To ensure that every pic took up it's position in the top LH
corner of the slide, it was necessary only to go Format > Picture > Position
and enter a zero as value in the two boxes, and all pics selected jumped
into the top LH corner.
In Office 2007 and 2010 this does not appear to be possible -- entering a
zero causes the dialog box to close, however entering a non-zero value is
OK, but will not place the pics into the "home' position.
Am I doing something wrong, is there a workaround for my problem, or have I
found (yet another) bug?
As usual, all assistance is gratefully appreciated.

Probably no faster than Steve's align suggestion but if you use any value eg
2 from left and 2 from top the zero and zero will work next time! Basically
it seems the pics need to be aligned top and left before zero works. I guess
that is a bug

Office 2007 SP2

Thanks Steve and John
Adding a value in each box first, then adding a zero next actually worked.
Convoluted --- but better than nothing I suppose.
Will you be reporting this to MS as a bug?
