I think you may be running into a bug where PPT resets to the center of the
slide when you're zoomed way in. There's no known fix for it. We're all
hoping it makes it into a service pack or something soon.

If I create a SmartArt item and place it in one corner of a chart and try
to
zoom in on it (changing the zoom view to 200% or so), the chart
automatically
'jumps' back to the upper left corner. I have to scroll back to the corner
every time I touch the SmartArt. Even the Preview feature in the SmartArt
will jump me back to the home postion so it's nearly impossible to
manipulate
the item
