Windows XP - Windows 7
« on: Thursday 23 October 14 17:52 BST (UK) »
When I had Windows XP it had a ‘draw’ facility and I was able to draw a table plan (for setting up an exhibition in a hall).  It was very flexible and I could move (drag) the tables wherever I wanted them. 

I cannot find this  facility on Windows 7 - only ‘paint’ which doesn’t have the same options.  If  I want to move or change something the only way seems to be to erase it and start again.

Am I missing something?

Any advice welcome.
