Grouping and Ungrouping Objects
You may choose to use pictures, shapes, diagrams, text, and other objects in your PowerPoint presentation. If you do, there may be instances where you would like to group several of these objects together to make it easier to move them to different locations on the slide. This is called grouping.
To Group Objects:
- Select the first object with your mouse.
- Press and hold the Ctrl key on your keyboard. Note: You will have to hold the Ctrl key until you select all objects you would like to group.
- Select the second object with your mouse.
- Continue to select all the objects you would like to group.
- Release the Ctrl key.
- Click the Draw menu.

Ordering Objects
You may want to arrange multiple objects on a slide to overlap them or arrange them in a visually appealing way. PowerPoint allows you to order objects so that you have flexibility with how you design each slide.
To Order Objects:
- Select the object you wish to move.
- Right-click the object.
- Select Order.
- Select one of the four options from the cascading menu and the object will move to the location you choose:
- Bring to Front
- Send to Back
- Bring Forward
- Send Backward
