In VBA in PPT 2003 I build a new slide title master, add placeholders, and
copy in some shapes. The shapes come in on top of the placeholders - dont
know why. Anyway, I try to reorder things. Tried moving placeholders forward
and tried moving shapes backward. No errors, but no reordering occurred. Any
ideas?

(I used shape.ZOrder to change order)

I can't reproduce that Chris I used:

With ActivePresentation.SlideMaster.Shapes.Paste
..ZOrder (msoSendToBack)
End With

and the pasted shape went to the back. In any case the placeholders would be
in the front in normal edit view surely?
 
Hi John,

I think that was all the hint I needed. I had been using msoBringForward and
msoSendBackward.
Changing to the msoBringToFront and msoSendToBack variants made things move.

Thanks,
Chris
