Can't move image within PowerPoint crop

August 5, 2014 6:08 AM

I am using PowerPoint 2010 on a PC. Normally when you insert an image then crop it, you can click on the image while the crop handles are still live and drag the image around, then reposition it within the crop, before actually applying the crop. But it's not working like that anymore!

Now I can crop the image but can't drag it around inside the crop handles - it's really annoying because the PowerPoint templates we have set up at work are designed to be used in that way. Other machines don't have this problem, so it does seem to be related to the computer rather than the document. Any ideas please?

Is the document saved in .ppt format, ie. created in an old version? If so, "save as" .pptx and you should get full 2010 functionality back.
