Group Objects:
It is often easier to work with a single object than it is to work with several smaller objects.
A group is a collection of objects that PowerPoint treats as a single object.
Press and hold down the <Shift> key as you click each object that you want to select.
Other Ways to Select Multiple Objects: Use the mouse arrow pointer to draw a
box around the objects that you want to select.
Group objects:
By grouping several objects together you can format an entire group of objects rather than
formatting each object individually.
1. Select the objects that you want to group and click the Format contextual tab on the
Ribbon.
2. Click the Group button in the Arrange group, and select Group from the list.

Ungroup objects
If you need to make changes to an object that is part of a group, you’ll need to ungroup the
objects before continuing.
1. Select the group of objects that you want to ungroup and click the Format contextual tab
on the Ribbon.
2. Click the Group button in the Arrange group, and select Ungroup from the list.
The selected objects are ungrouped. Now you can work with each object individually.
Arrange Objects:
Align objects:

group.

Animate Objects:
An animation effect is a preset visual effect that can be applied to the text or objects on a
slide
2. Click the Animations tab on the Ribbon and click the More button on the Animation
gallery in the Animation group.
The preset animation is applied to the text or object and a preview of the effect is
displayed. A number appears next to the object showing the order in which the animation
will be displayed.
Tip: To see more animation effects, click More Entrance Effects, More Emphasis
Effects, More Exit Effects, or More Motion Paths in the Animation gallery.
Now you can add an effect option. An effect option allows you to change the way an
animation effect behaves. For example, if you use the Fly In animation effect, you can
choose the direction from which the object or text flies in.
(Optional) Click the Effect Options button in the Animation group and select an option.
The selected effect option is applied and a preview is displayed.

Animation group.
