Default Picture Grouping

PowerPoint2007

On the screen in front of me I have 2 pictures on one slide that I want to
group.

I take the following actions:-

1. With the SHIFT key depressed click on the first picture.

2. Keeping the SHIFT key depressed click on the second picture.

Both picture are now highlighted.

3. Picture Tools / Format contextual tab / Arrange group / click on the drop
down arrow in Group / click on Group

A single box should now be placed around both pictures.

TO TEST THAT THE ABOVE HAS WORKED

4. Click on one of the pictures and drag it, for example, to the right.

Both pictures should move at the same time.

If my comments have helped please hit Yes.

Just a little nit to pick here.

If you grab one of the pictures and move it, it will move alone even if it's
grouped. This is new behavior in PPT 2007 -- you can move/adjust objects
inside of groups. So be sure to grab the edge of the group itself and move
*that* to move the two pictures together.

(If you select a picture or object that's inside a group, the selection line
around the object will be solid, and there will be a dotted line
representing the group itself. Click on that dotted line to select the
entire group.)
