Hi all,

I am redoing someone's presentation and many, but not all of the slides has
similar layout. 2 text boxes and a chart. Much of the text is similar. Is
there a way to have the position of text boxes (and charts too) to be in the
same position from one slide to the next?

Thanks so much for all the help thus far - it has totally helped.

If the textboxes and charts are added using placeholders, you can reapply the
slide layout so that the positions are fixed. For instance, click Format >
Slide Layout. Under Title and Content Layout, hover over Title Text and
Content icon, click on the dropdown arrow and select Reapply layout.

If Shawn's suggestion doesn't work, download our free PPTools Starter Set
(http://www.pptools.com/starterset/)

There's a tool that lets you memorize the size/position of any shape and
another that lets you "hammer" any other shape to that same size/position.

Our ShapeStyles addin could also be used to do this and apply nearly any other
formatting to the text box in one click. The free demo lets you create five
styles or so, which might be all you need.
