Every time I try to drag an object in PowerPoint 2007, my CPU usage spikes way up, and the dragging becomes so jerky that it's unusable.
I'm using a good machine, and this problem occurs even with uncomplex presentations. Any ideas/fixes? This version of PowerPoint is buggy as hell.

When I highlight text on a webpage in Safari that contains quotes (") and then click on my Movable Type Quickpost link to include the text in the Quickpost body, the quotes in the highlighted text in the browser are turned into %u201C once the text is included in the body of the Quickpost in the pop up window.
If I manually input the quotes directly into the body of the Quickpost window, the quotes do not turn into %u201C, it is only when I highlight text in a browser with quotes and then click on the Quickpost link do the quotes turn into %u201C.
Does anyone know how I prevent highlighted text with quotes from a browser from turning quotes into %u201C when using Quickpost?
I would appreciate any help or advice.
Thanks.
