Hey there Martin.

The pivot point can be changed by:
* change to Object Mode [Tab]
* Change to the edit tools [F9]
* Click "Centre New"

This will move the pivot point back into the centre of your mesh (note that moving the object in Edit mode displaces the pivot point).

I don't quite get what you mean, could you rephrase this?
