Re: Locking a text box or image position on slide?

No, the master is the only place that objects can be locked.
Don't worry...you'll soon get used to the fact that the people who add the
content to the presentations pay absolutely no attention whatever to any
rules and guidelines that you lay down...;)
 
Hi Natasha,

I'm strugling with the same issues and found that the only
way is to develope a template that runs an "events sink"
and verifies and corrects the position of a logo every
time the user saves the presentation. I just make sure
that they need to install an Add-in before they can see
anything of the presentations.
It does take some programing....

Regards,

Peter
 
Peter,

Have you visited http://www.mvps.org/skp (Shyam Pillai's site)?

Among the other riches there, you'll find very easy to use demo code for
handling events in a VBA addin.
For maintaining an object position, I suspect you might be able to trap the
Select event; when the selection changes from one of your immovable shapes
to something else, move the immovable shape back to where it belongs (ie, to
coordinates stored in a series of tags applied to the shape)
