I could do anything with PP 2000, and I am now going nuts trying to use
PP2008 for Mac. When I draw a line, if I click on both ends the line goes
off into outer-space. If I click on the first point and then drag, it goes
where I want it, but sometimes it sticks to my cursor when I release it
like I've got sticky fingers. Also, frequently when I try to move
something I get what I call a "blue ghost" - a blue area as if I was
trying to put a boundary on an object - which I'm not. When I try to edit
points I find I can't control them the way I used to be able to do - its
as if they have a mind of their own. Part of that problem I believe is
that they are trying to "snap" to a grid. I used to be able to turn that
off, but I don't know how to now - and the help menu is next to worthless.
I have finally figured out that if I want to create a freeform figure, I
should go to the freeform symbol under "lines & connectors", then
control-click and hit the "run command" line of text. Otherwise, I can't
control the freeform drawing. Why has such a great program been ruined
like this?
