In Powerpoint 2007, I’m not able to shift around the charts on a slide using the keyboard arrows and have to use the mouse which I don’t find very accurate. Is there a way of changing this?

Nearly Hans!!
Hold down Ctrl and click to SELECT now use the arrow keys alone.

Yes it's certainly not obvious. I think that in 2007 the graph engine is from Excel where nudging is not at all important THEN PowerPointers saw it and went "WHAAAAT" so MSoft added a quick but well hidden fix.
