PPT97: Group Command Unavailable When Placeholder Is Selected (190381)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q190381 SYMPTOMS
If you select several objects on a slide and your selection includes
the Title object and/or the Body Text object, the Group command on the
Draw menu (on the Drawing toolbar) is unavailable (dimmed).
RESOLUTION
If you want to make a group that includes the Title or Body Text
objects, copy all the existing objects on the slide to a new slide
using the blank AutoLayout and then you can group them.
- On the Edit menu, click Select All.
- On the Edit menu, click Copy.
- On the Edit menu, click New Slide.
- In the New Slide dialog box, choose the Blank AutoLayout.
- On the Edit menu, click Paste Special, then click Objects.
You can now select any combination of the objects on this slide and
group them together.
NOTE: Empty Title and Body Text placeholders cannot be grouped together
or grouped with other objects, even when copied to a new blank slide.
