GROUPING?

[KatieD]

Version: 2008

I am trying to design a logo in Powerpoint (probably not the best software, I know!), however I've designed the text and pictures and then put a square around it. When I try to copy and paste the whole thing, only the square shows. How do I include the pics and text in the square all as one 'item'?
Vague I know but i'm not sure how else to ask. Can anyone out there help?!?!

Just because the other objects are positioned within the perimeter defined
by the square doesn't mean they're selected if you're only *selecting* the
square, itself ... And if you're selecting just the square that's all
that's getting copied. You need to select all of the objects in order to
copy them. You can do that in either of two ways;

1- Click to select one object, then hold the Shift key while you click to
select each of the others, or

2- Imagine a box around the objects [allowing a good amount of "extra"
space], position the pointer at one of the 4 corners of the imaginary
rectangle then drag diagonally to create a selection marquee that
encompasses all of the objects you want to select.

After you have them all selected you can use the Group command (click the
Draw button on the Drawing Toolbar or select it from the Grouping features
in the contextual menu if you Control/Right-Click a solid portion of one of
the selected objects]). You might want to see PPT Help on the subject of:

Group, arrange, or distribute objects
