Powerpoint objects move 1 inch at a time instead of few mms. Why?

When I try to move objects in a 2007 powerpoint template, they move many cms
at a time instead of the 'normal' distance. Any idea how to fix it?

First check this:

On the Home tab, in the Drawing group, click Arrange, point to Align, and
then click Grid Settings.

You can also right-click on an empty area of the slide (not a placeholder
(placeholders: Boxes with dotted or hatch-marked borders that are part of
most slide layouts. These boxes hold title and body text or objects such as
charts, tables, and pictures.)) or the margin around the slide, and then
click Grid and Guides.

Under Grid settings, enter the measurement that you want in the Spacing
list.
Tip If you want these settings to be the default settings for all of your
presentations, click Set as Default.

If this doesn't fix the issue post back (or let us know if it does.)

Probably you have snap to grid or object turned on

Right click an empty area grids and guides to check
