Group objects

You can group thinkcell elements and PowerPoint shapes to move, rotate, and resize the objects together. Ungroup objects to work with them individually.

Grouping is particularly helpful when working with charts with legends, charts with data tables, and text boxes.

With automatic layout, thinkcell elements can automatically adjust their size and position to help you create slides faster. To control automatic layout for grouped elements, see Lock and unlock elements in a multi-selection or group.

If there are no thinkcell elements in your group, the grouping behavior is the same as the built-in PowerPoint function.
