Alignment of objects

[Melissa]

Found this Visio feature extremely useful and would like to suggest the same
feature is made available in Powerpoint:

Align objects by reference to first object selected. Meaning, if I want my
objects to be Aligned - Centre to a particular object, I select that first
before selecting the others and applying the "Alignment".

Is it a lot different from this:

I agree, it is different, for this reason as well:

Often you have object A correctly positioned in place and want to align
object B along the centreline of object A. However, sometimes PowerPoint
moves object A instead of object B! I can't tell how it chooses which object
to move - it doesn't make a diffence if you select object A or B first either.

Any suggestions? Or do we wait for Office 2010?

Thanks for your time,
