objects in more than one group

I need to have several objects that are currently grouped
as pairs (picture, caption) appear sequentially. This is
working ok. I then want to group these groups together and
make this group disolve while other objects are placed on
the page. I then want this 'master group' to reappear. I
cannot seem to have these objects belong to more than one
group.
Is there a way to have objects in multiple groups?

Thanks in advance

Hi DosHog,

NO, objects can belong to ONE group only. But as you mention "dissolve" as
an exit animation, my guess is that you are using PowerPoint 2002 or 2003
(please always include the version you use in your question).

Then you can mark one group to disappear "on mouse click" and the other ones
"with previous", so they disappear all at the same time. You can also click
on all of the groups which shall disappear together holding down the
Ctrl-button to mark all of them and apply the same animation on them at the
same time. Usually PowerPoint uses the "with previous" by default then.

Kind regards,
Ute
 
The version is PPT 2000, my appologies for not including
that. Can we still do disolves?

You can visually make things exit the slide in PPT 2000 by duplicating your
slide (remove all animations from duplicate slide) and delete the objects
you want to remove. Set the slide transition to Dissolve or Random Bars and
make you next animation automatic (this way one mouse click removes with
slide transition and brings in next).

Takes more planning and a lot more slides but it is very doable.

I solved my problem by inserting blank pictures over the
area I wanted to hide. I then inserted the original
pictures over the blank as a group. Bigger file but it
works exactly as I wanted it to.

Thanks for the input
