Good thinking. Yes, that would do it, and it is not a terribly uncommon error. Move Component, clicked onto an empty space, will pull up a list of components, which will allow picking the component up. One will be able to tell immediately what its extents are when it is being moved. Editing it from the panel is another possibility, just change the XY coordinates by adding or subtracting appropriate values (remember, Protel will think that the component is at the reference position, which in this case will *not* be where the primitives are located. Modifying the library part to put the reference on pin 1 or on the centroid and then running update component should also do it, probably the easiest and best solution. I'd look at the library part first and see where the reference is living....
