Before you start Open PowerPoint Click Tools Click Options Click Security Tag Click Macro Security Select Medium Close and re-open PowerPoint (you won’t have to do any of that again)

Write the PowerPoint presentation as normal, or find the PowerPoint you want to add the macro to. Save it. Write your presentation

Open ‘DragandDrop.ppt’ (Click enable macros if asked) Click Insert Click Slides from Files Click Browse and then on your chosen ppt Tick Keep Source Formatting Click Insert All Click save as and rename your PowerPoint Instructions

To make bits move with Drag and Drop Right-click on the image or text box you want to move around Click Action Settings Click Run Macro (‘draganddrop’ should be in the box) Click OK When you have finished you can delete all these instruction slides

How it works You are adding a ‘macro’ called ‘DropandDrag’. The macro is embedded in this presentation which is why you have to put your slides into it and then save it again with a new name. You can delete any last slides now and the macro will stay. The macro was created by Hans Werner Hofmann & Ute Simon.

Troubleshooting Check security settings are ‘medium’ (recommended) or ‘low’ (not recommended) Make sure you right-click on the top line of a text box if you want it to move – it will go transparent if clicked in right place. If a group of objects won’t drag, try right clicking and saving the group as a picture. Insert the picture back into the presentation (‘Insert, Picture, From file…’) and apply the macro to the picture.
