Is there any way to do this without ungrouping? -- which destroys carefully
crafted animations?
 
I tried code too. As soon as items were added / deleted from the group the
animation was lost.

Maybe using code, but I don't think it's possible in the UI. I experimented
with the Selection Pane, but that doesn't seem to let me do it, either.

I've been in this situation many times myself, and, like the other replies,
hadn't found a way to do this, other than never grouping items that get
animated. It's often unnecessary in versions 2003+ (before that, the only way
you could animate items together was to group them). The only real downside
is that you have multiple items in the animation dialog, but I find that a
very small trade off for being able to easily edit the items.

A VBA alternative that might work would be to have the code save the
animation settings before ungrouping, then apply them to each of the items
after they are ungrouped.

Wouldn't Shyam's Animation Carbon let you pick up the animation settings
then
reapply them to the group again after you'd ungrouped/modified/regrouped
it?

Does that work for PPT 2007 (It would seem not from the web page)?
