Summary:

The information below is taken from the Microsoft PowerPoint Version 2.00 Help file for Moving and Resizing Objects.

To move an object, select it first, then:


 * 1) Put the arrow pointer inside the object and hold down the right mouse button. The pointer becomes a four-headed “move pointer.”
 * 2) Drag the pointer and the object moves with it.

To move multiple objects, select them and drag any one of them. All the objects move together maintaining their relative positions.

To resize an object, select it first, then:


 * 1) Drag on one of the solid resize handles. A dotted outline shows the resizing. Release the button and the object takes on its new size and shape.

Holding down the SHIFT key while resizing will constrain the change to horizontally, vertically, or proportionally resizing. Choose Undo right away to change an object back to its earlier size.

For more information about this topic, refer to Pages 25-29, 127, and 165-166 of your “Microsoft PowerPoint User’s Guide.”
