From PowerPoint – 2007, no less!
On one page, we can set the size. X and Y are arranged horizontally, Y first.
On the next page, we can set the position. X and Y are arranged vertically, X first.
This has confused me practically every time I’ve had to edit the size of something in PowerPoint. I know it’s there. I do. But the behavior is so counterintuitive, I just can’t get my brain to think this way. It’s just wrong!
Personally, I would prefer size and position on the same page; but I can see the argument for separating them, since size has so many options.
But changing their layout and order is practically begging users to make mistakes.
Smooth move, PowerPoint team…
