Text Box Fine Tuning / Placement Resolution

[uapuoq anep]

I have a 3 month old Dell Studio 1555 laptop. I ran Office 07 on Vista Home
Premium (32 bit) originally and loved it. Then when I upgraded to Windows 7
Professional, just yesterday, I started having problems with OneNote 2007.

The text box cannot be moved continuously, but it shifts in large discrete
steps. This prevents me from typing notes inside of documents that I have
printed to OneNote because the text box overlaps the background text. This
problem does not occur with other drawing tools, for example drawing a circle
can be sized to any size and shifted in a continuous manner.

This occurs if I try to relocate the whole box or if I try to shift the text
by dragging the yellow plus sign to the left of the text.

It would appear that the program loses functionality on Windows 7,

Sounds like maybe your video driver isn't happy with Windows 7. Check to
make sure you have Windows 7 versions of all of your drivers.

Edit=> uncheck "snap to grid"

Tell us if that solved the problem.
