Wendy,
Essentially, after you have grouped objects, you cannot move any of the
individual elements even though you are able to highlight and change
some of the characteristics of them, such as font, color, etc. You will
need to ungroup, move the piece, group them again, add the animation
effect and path, then move the grouped animation marker up the timeline
to the correct place.

Subject: Help with PowerPoint 2000

I'm hoping someone here can help me find a solution to a PowerPoint 2000
issue.


I'm working in a PowerPoint 2000 file with several animations. Most of
the animations are grouped objects.

I need to make edits to pieces of the
grouped objects (like move textboxes), but if I ungroup the objects so I
can move them, I break the animation. This is driving me crazy -- I
don't want to study then rebuild all the animations.

I know I can highlight text within
a textbox and change text properties without ungrouping -- but in these
cases, I actually need to move the textbox.

Does anyone know of a way to select
and move single object (such as textbox, not the text) in a group of
objects?
