How can I grab and move an object while in show mode?

[Commstock]

I am doing a presentation in which the visual theme is puzzle pieces. I'd
like to have a way to, while in the show mode, grab the individual pieces and
move them around - starting with a jumbled image and manually moving the
pieces to make one recognizable image. I use PPT 2003 but am currently trying
2007 on trial. Thanks.

You can do this in 2003 but you will need some VBA. Oh, wait, the
animation folks, like Glen might jump in here to tell you how to do
this with Animation Settings, which I never use.

The brilliance of this PPT Newgroup is you get a lot of different
perspectives since none of us knows EVERYTHING.

If you need to drag the pieces in slide show mode then vba is the only way.

sample code

You can also use triggers without vba to either select a piece and have it
move into place or a little more difficult, select a piece , select the
position and only move if it's the correct place.

Look at the "complex example" here
