Dragging around an oval to highlight an area of a picture in a Word document can be annoying. The durn thing snaps to an invisible grid (for both movement and sizing) and there isn't an obvious way to make it go to exactly where you want it. Curse you, MS usability people who thought that a magical, not-to-be-found-in-the-menu key combination was the way to go for this functionality! The Great Google Genie told me that holding down Alt while you resize/move the shape lets you move it anywhere. Thank you, oh Great Google Genie.
